In this day and age we have the ability to turn a half-dozen dunk protesters into a full-blown "revolution" using media tricks, a few public comments from high officials and money.

The Egyptian "Arab Spring" might have fizzled out on its own had we (the West) not given such support to the radicals. Same thing in Libya. By the same token, the near-revolution in Iran a few years ago had the same potential, but we kept quiet and thus helped the regime.

In the Ukraine, we're talking it up, offering financial incentives, and the MSM is playing its part. We're definitely involved.

Let's review what happened, shall we? The (former) Ukrainian president backed-out of a deal with the EU in favor of a deal with Russia, and people took to the streets (and not just a half-dozen).

So, am I to blame the media?
