Reply #18: Should the Ukrainians have rolled over and let the election be stolen?

[ButterflyBlood]

We'd sure as hell be a lot better off now if the US had in 2000 acted the same way Ukraine did in 2004.

Sure, Yuschenko's government has failed to deliver on most of its promises and he was bankrolled by Western interests, etc. But the fact remains, the first election was fraudulent, and thus it should've been overturned. The right things all happened in that election, it's a shame that didn't happen in the US.

Don't cut off your nose to spite your face. Western support for one guy is no reason to sell a country out to election-rigging pro-Putin autocrats.
