Yanukovych is to blame for events in Ukraine. His excesses and corruption made all of this possible.

Period.

Some on the left contend that it is former President George W. Bush’s fault for invading Iraq and providing a precedent.

I'm disappointed the NYT couldn't get this "Bush's Fault" nugget into the first paragraph.

Gosh. Wasn’t it a New York Times reporter who couldn’t see any starvation in Ukraine when Stalin was in charge? Now they notice Ukraine?

Forget blame us first. This was caused by the EU extending its reach and now wants us to bail them out.

You got to give the 0bama administration credit for having in place a well thought out contingency plan in case this happened...</S>

That’s because they wanted the mystery of who to blame to reach a climax and then in one fell swoop reveal it as the fault of George W. Bush for invading Iraq and providing a precedent. Had they brought it up in the first paragraph then the story would have no need to go on beyond the one paragraph.

That makes sense.

Remember when news stories were written like non-fiction? Yeah, me neither. They hated Reagan’s guts.
