Ukrainian restraint

Ukraine's protests (see post of February 7) have turned into full-fledged revolt against their government and President Yanukovych, who just days ago ran from the capitol.

 People poured into his compound this weekend and found luxury that astonished them.

Instead of escalating protest into civil war, there has been restraint.  Parliament moved quickly to set up a new government which is supported by the police and the military.

And, in the midst of the chaos, there has been no looting.

Ukrainians, I salute you and I wish you well.
