In his March 6 Executive Order, “Blocking Property of Certain Persons Contributing to the Situation in Ukraine,” Obama declares that support for Crimean self-determination constitutes “an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat.” http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2014/03/06/executive-order-blocking-property-certain-persons-contributing-situation

Obama and the lawyers who drafted his executive order did not notice that the way the order is drafted it applies to Obama, to the unelected coup government in Kiev, and to the Washington and EU regimes. The order says that any person “responsible for or complicit in, or to have engaged in, directly or indirectly . . . actions or policies that undermine democratic processes or institutions in Ukraine” is subject to having his assets frozen.  
 
Washington and the EU are the only two governments whose personnel have undermined democratic processes and institutions in Ukraine by overthrowing the elected government and imposing an unelected one.
 
Self-determination is pure democracy.  I understand the implications of not being able to hold one’s country together but you know what, if the central government has become entrenched in corruption, greed and war mongering than, short of civil war, what other peaceful way can people get away from it?  Secession is a right.  Yes, a right that Lincoln took away from the South.   We were more than happy to let Texas do it to Mexico 15 years earlier but we crushed them when they tried to do it to us.
