All Things Considered, November 24, 2004 ยท Throngs continue to protest the outcome in Ukraine's presidential election, which officials say was won by Russia-backed candidate Prime Minister Victor Yanukovych. International observers said government fraud and falsification tainted the vote. NPR's Lawrence Sheets reports. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4186195

So what does everyone think of the Ukrainian incident? Just curious...

I'm worried about what the Russians will do.

I believe what's going to happen, if nothing is settled, is civil war. I pray it doesn't, but the people don't respect the system or the current government.

If Putin sends the army in, I hope something from outside is done. They have no business manipulating the results of an election in a country like the Ukraine. I don't hate Russia but if they get too involved, they need to be stopped. I also hope civil war doesn't break out but with 2 million marching in Kiev today and 400 000 or so protesting day and night, it isn't out of the realm of possibility.

The Americans have also taken a stand that the election was not a practice of democracy and we will not accept the current government as well. So if the Russians get involved, get who else will... Anyways, I'm proud of the people in Ukraine.
