It is the simple folk in between which is also on the streets right now (or was). At least them cannot be so corrupt than the president whose family allegedly collect millions or billions in the last year. So new elections and an improvement of the constitution are steps in the right direction. But why had people to die for it in the last days?

I don't know what to do in these states where basically corruption is everywhere like many of the former soviet republics, like italy, like greece, like half of afrika, south and central america, half of asia, ... and many more. I guess the only option that the simple folks has to organize itself and start their own political parties which is a very hard way, go on the streets when the constitution is weakened and switch government as often as possible because the longer someone is in command, the worse it gets.

In principle Yanukovich should already be facing trials because of existing anti corruption laws (if they exist). It shouldn't be a task for the opposition to help him out of office. Obviously everything that is democratic is very weak in the Ukraine. A failed state. We have a chance to help there, mostly financial in case they do the right thing. Ukraine is very close to germany, just one country away. We have to help the democracy and fight the corruption and save people from getting killed. That is what I would demand as principle guided behavior. I hope it comes across as non too propaganda misled talk. :)
