Much of that is implicitly anti-American tripe. That being said, if this involved nothing more than getting Ukraine into NATO and away from a revived Sovietesque bloc, that works for me!
I'll take the pro-American thug over the anti-American thug any day, and that's not an endorsement of thugs..
its not Anti-American tripe its more of an evaluation of whom America and Britain are supporting ...
I don't think we can take for granted that Yushchenko is pro-American. The liberal media says he is "pro-west," but that could mean "pro-EU" and France ain't America. Unfortunately the liberal media has not told us much of anything about Yushchenko's campaign promises or executive successes as Prime Minister.
Please explain how he is pro American. He is pro-West alright, pro EU Franco-Germanic-Spainish monstrocity of the Fourth Reich, West. But what has he said or done to show his pro-Americanism? Has he committed to helping us in Iraq or the War on Terror? Is he anti-Kyoto (hardly since the Greens are one of his constituents). What has he said that is pro-American? I've yet to see that. Plenty pro-EU stuff though. And don't give me the NATO excuse as pro American, 2/3rds of NATO members dispise America and did jack shiete to help us after 911, except for "moral" support.
