Re: Should the U.S. recognize the Crimean vote on secession/annexation tomorrow?
That doesn't mean very much. I don't know what you "meant"...I only know what you "wrote" and now you say didn't write what you meant or you didn't mean what you wrote? Seriously, do you really expect people to read your mind through a computer?
When I said observers, I meant people who were actually professionals at this kind of work and who come in without bias toward the outcome. I did not mean folks like the guy in your first link where he quite clearly supports Russia move here and thinks that Crimea should be part of Russia. I did not mean guys like the person in your second link where he literally says the majority of Crimeans will support Russia and that they need to send Kiev a message. And I didn't mean your third link where there's been a lot of conflicting information about whether the OSCE was invited or not and if they were invited why were they stopped at the border?
