of course the Taliban were Reagan's "Freedom Fighters" and the Kmer Rouge were assisted into power by the U.S. also.

At some point the consciousness of man has to be great enough to rule with honesty and integrity. I realize that we are a long way from that being the case but Ukrainians should be allowed to determine their own destiny.

If they put in power corrupt leaders the people will hopefully eventually see that and demand changes and that is what we are seeing today.

Thanks for you input and perspective.
