Please tell us, oh Lorianne, why we should take as gospel the ravings of an extreme leftist website? Shouldn’t you be posting on DU? I think you would find people there more to your philosophical liking.

Tell me why we should not be able to question the wisdom of the Obama Administration’s activities in Ukraine?
Any good reason?
Even if they were heavy handed, what give us the right to interfere over there? What is the rationale in getting involved in internal affairs between Ukraine and Russia?
