I think there is enough blame on all sides to go around. That said, the events are clearly now spinning out of control [as it seems both sides desire or care not to stop]. This can only end badly....now it is just a matter of how badly. It is a very sad situation with the average person in the Ukraine [not involved in violence on either side - whatever their views] increasingly being marginalized and victimized. Most Ukrainians still want a united country - or at least a federation of semi-autonomous regions. Increasingly, it seems like in the Balkans, the country may be broken up....against the democratic wish - but the wish of both superpowers - each for their own reasons. ::
