What exactly is going on in the Ukraine? Are there any 'good guys'?

Aside from the natural national ambitions of the Ukrainian people and the long history of oppression under first the Czars and then the Soviets, is it in OUR national interest to back one side or the other?

No flames please -- I simply have not followed this story.

I'll second that. I'm shrugging my shoulders here. I don't know enough of the players to know who is the good or the bad guys or all they just people with only a certain amount of good vs. bad in them? Do we have a choice that is only between "bad or worse?" I feel a bit dumb myself on this one, I don't know too much of what's going on there besides the strife.

The US has asked Ukraine not to certify the results. What more do you need than that?

There is a brand new thread that ran last night, check it out it makes everything a lot more clear. "Who lost ukraine" or something like that.
