> How one woman sparked the revolution (Ukraine)

Dear All!
I may be partial, as I’ll be voting AGAINST the "revolution". But I’ll try to do my best to explain my position.

1) Why do you call this "revolution"? all you can see is Kiev. All the East and South of Ukraine are "blue and white", but you are too lazy - or too partial - to see this. Orange got a very good, the most visible, the strategically important position, that’s all.

2) Elections were bad – I agree, I will not stand for the dirty political tricks! But – again – you cannot imagine that ALL 15 million bulletins were forged! I will accept a figure of 1 million – well, why not. And the “blue and white” deserved well this revolution (am I partial?). But – this revolution expresses the will of only ONE HALF of people, no? so when they say that “the nation elected Yushchenko” – well, let’s see the result of the future elections first? And – the other part IS ALSO A PART OF THE NATION, will you grant this?

3) They accuse the eastern regions of separatism. This is only a part of truth. Both candidates have EQUALLY contributed to separatist moods, one in the East, one in the West of Ukraine. And – now the Eastern regions do not speak anymore about SEPARATION. They speak about FEDERATION now, just autonomy, like the Crimea. And – to my mind, it would be fair, as we’ve got quite many differences with the West of Ukraine.

4) They say Yanukovich is bad, Yushchenko is good. But it’s not a Holliwood film! There are no such things in the real life, and even I have long hesitated between the two, as they BOTH pertain to corrupted mafia clans, and I can give you plenty of facts against Yushchenko, if you ask me. But I’m afraid of Yushchenko.

5) So far my arguments were purely logical. This one is not. I know a bit about the technologies he uses to manage and control the crowd, and I’m afraid of him, because – when he has all the power he wants – I cannot imagine what he may do with the country.

You got my email, so if you don’t believe me or want me to explain anything in more detail, I’m open for your questions. I don’t think I’ll be often visiting this page, so better use my mail.
