As the Ukraine teeters on the brink of widespread “civil” conflict over disputed election results, the U.S. is urging the government to hold off certification of results until fraud and voting irregularity allegations have been investigated:
The White House said in a statement: “We strongly support efforts to review the conduct of the election and urge Ukrainian authorities not to certify results until investigations of organised fraud are resolved.”
At the same time, a federal judge has ruled that Ohio’s recount can wait until after result certification, at which point only 9 days will remain before electors meet.
Looking at the picture of flowers in riot shields, and hearing of 200,000 people in the streets of Kiev, I am reminded of relativepath’s recent introspection about identifying the “good guys” in Fallujah [my paraphrase]. There is little direct relation in terms of subject matter, but for the question:
What is your breaking point? Are we past it? What will it look like when it comes?
Ukraine. Ohio. Who is the beacon of democracy and freedom?
What’s up with sometimes links are underlined and sometimes not? I thought maybe it was a blockquote quirk, but yesterday’s post puts that to rest. Wha!??
Wha!??, indeed .. it seems to have to do with the order of the p and blockquote tags (see revised posts – now with “less underlined” blockquotes) …
