Lets hope that NATO is not able to bribe Yanukovich to turn his back on the Ukrainian people. Tony Blair of UK is an example of such an individual whose lust for money was his top priority. He didn't give a damn about the well being of UK as long as he and his wife could enrich themselves. And, those two became immensely wealthy off the blood of the Iraqi people - Just as Eric Prince, the creator of Blackwater. Russia, Ukraine and Belarus should be careful when the West comes peddling their "democracy".
