Vitali's political stance

[Nautilus]

I believe, that Vitali has made a right choice. He supports democracy in the country.

like any decent person would do; the problem is that half of people in Ukraine supprot one guy and hald the other; and all of them think they support democracy

interesting conversation going on...

in response to the orginial poster:

i believe vitali is justified in using the media exposure to promote support and most importantly, make people aware of the major and crucial period of time in ukraine.

granted i have not read everything in this thread, i would just like to bring up some points.

-while some may say ukraine is run by a ********ic state, this is a far cry from the democracy experienced in the united states

-government backed media often brainwash the people with one sided information. reporters and journalists often time find themselves threatened and beaten, if not worse murdered for their voices of truth.

-channel 5, providing the only honorable news coverage, often times finds itself under fire from the government and has multiple times been tried to shut down operation. not uncommon for the channel to experience "technical difficulties" of no sound or picture or at times completely off air.

-the elections have indeed been rigged, as decided so by the supreme court. keep in mind that the 1st round of elections was rigged as well...

-candidate yushchenko has undoubtadely become a victim of poisoning

-Yushchenko was offered the post of rival candidate yanukovich as prime minister as a "settlement"

this is just a preview of the level of unimaginable corruption going on..

i can go on writing all the reasons for which i applaud the klitschkos involvement but its impossible to translate the feelings for your country when its in such a sad state, trying to finally rise from corruption only to be pulled back down by these selfish crooks willing to sell out every one of their fellow citizens. one would have to occupy the atmosphere to get a feel for why this country needs to previal.

klitschkos bout strengthens the believers... there is a parallel in klitschkos fight for championship and the peoples fight for democracy.
