A NICE BACKGROUND & SUMMARY OF THE SITUATION IN THE UKRAINE

I don't have any backup for the claims made in the article beyond the trite "it has the ring of truth" feeling, especially this passage:
Has it ever before happened that people associated with Ukrainian, Russian, Belarusian, Armenian, Polish, and Jewish culture have died in a revolution that was started by a Muslim? Can we who pride ourselves in our diversity and tolerance think of anything remotely similar in our own histories?
UPDATE: To my genuine surprise, at least one writer for the National Review approved of the article.

Here is a much better and more honest summary of the situation.
