"Mr. Kirilyuk, 29, was standing in the same central square where throngs in 2004 carried out the Orange Revolution, a seminal event that brought to power a pro-Western government in Ukraine. He said he was a fervent supporter then of the protesters, but now he and a few dozen others who have set up tents here are demanding that the heroes of that revolution step down."

When elections don't resolve the problems that the voters thought they would, eventually the contradictions that led to the "change" election, the problems that brought a new government to power on the hopes of the people, resurface in renewed intensity. The attitude of "they all must go" seen here in countries from Iceland to Ukraine is a sign of the times and bodes ill for those public officials and economic mavens who think that they can stop the will of the people permanently - whether those leaders occupy the White House or the Kremlin.
