Neil Clark: Im confused, can anyone help me? Im confused. A few weeks ago we were told in the West that people occupying government buildings in Ukraine was a very good thing. These people, we were told by our political leaders and elite media commentators, were pro-democracy protestors. The US government warned the Ukrainian authorities against using force against these pro-democracy protestors even if, according to the pictures we saw, some of them were neo-Nazis who were throwing Molotov cocktails and other things at the police and smashing up statues and setting fire to buildings. Now, just a few weeks later, were told that people occupying government buildings in Ukraine are not pro-democracy protestors but terrorists or militants. Why was the occupation of government buildings in Ukraine a very good thing in January, but it is a very bad thing in April? Why was the use of force by the authorities against protestors completely unacceptable in January, but acceptable now? I repeat: Im confused. Can anyone help me?
