freedom comes at a price here its the freedom of both ukrainians central and western in one state. and freedom for ukrainians in southern and eastern ukraine in another.
LETS REJOICE as those two new countries celebrate their freedoms!
You're too pessimistic. There may be more potential for unity than you realize.
It's important to remember, when Yushchenko is called a "Liberal," that liberal has a different meaning in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Empire than it does in the West. "Liberal" in this case is somebody who supports capitalism, which is the exact opposite of what Western liberals want. Kudos to him for this victory; maybe the cost of it will make him change his earlier position on Ukraine's troops staying in Iraq.
Thank you
"freedom for ukrainians in southern and eastern ukraine"
