I know our country is torn about wars we always seem to enter with no plan or desire to win... and I'm certainly not suggesting that we send troops or spies into the Ukraine. Its very sad to see the will of the majority of people over there wanting to align with the rest of Europe and not with the former Soviet Bloc.

Care to share any ideas as to what songwriters and artists in the "free world" can do to help the protestors in Kiev without interfering? It is a shame Mr. Putin cannot find a way to resolve this conflict and peacefully join the rest of the world in free, honest and open trade.

The U.S. Government needs to let the Russians know this is not the way to resolve this problem. I am not anti-Russian but I distrust their present government almost as much as I have begun to distrust our own corrupt government. (IRS, FBI, NSA, Supreme Court... and most of the other branches.) Whatever happened to democratic principles?

Sad!
