The Ukrainian people have done nothing to deserve       what is happening to them. However that is not where the matter ends.       >       > In 1985, the Soviet leadership elected a noble-minded leader named Mikhail       Gorbachev. He tried to make the place more democratic and more humane. In 1991       the Communist hardliners put him under house arrest. The people poured into       the Red Square; the        hardliners sent in tanks; however the military refused the orders to shoot at       the people. The Soviet military made a noble and righteous decision. And the       reward for their nobility has been their country plundered and its people       treated like dirt.       >       > Has the world failed to learn anything from the Second World War? The lesson       is that you don’t humiliate a proud country. What Putin has been doing in       Ukraine has been just as wrong as what Hitler had done. But he has support of       people who are in no        way evil; who have seen their country dragged through the dirt and who are       correctly angry at what has happened to their country.              Typical Russian: blame other people for your own wrong doings and       failings. Russias problems are not our fault, but completely of domestic       origin.              --       Anton                     --       Avast-virustorjuntaohjelmisto on tarkastanut tämän sähköpostin virusten       varalta.       www.avast.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
