Please list the corruption you claim by either verifying reports from credible sources without a bias of what yo have seen personally. I was there for both elections, and I can tell you there is a second story to tell. Did cheating take place? Yes, from both sides. And just to jump the gun on those who may think I am a Russian appologist, I think Yuschenko is the better leader for Ukraine, mostly on his handling of the economy -- aside from his strange desire to slow private property reform to get the support of a minor socialist candidate.

However, because the West wanted another outcome does not give the U.S. and the EU the right to meddle in internal affairs of a sovereign country such as providing millions in "political training" to one candidate. Now, to top it off, thousands of election observers are speaking in unison that the election "failed to meet interntional standards," whatever that means. Jeez, the Brits claimed Yanukovich supporters used disappearing ink on the ballots! Let the Ukrainians solve this without encouraging them, as Colin Powell did, to continue to mass in Independence Sqaure for another "Rose Revolution." Or am I the only one in the crowd who saw the Georgian flags?

You seem quite one sided on this, not that there is a problem with that but you complain about the west interfering. What about Russia interfering? There are many reports of Russian troops in the country(disguised as Ukrainian troops or special ops), does that not mean they are meddling with the internal affairs of a sovereign nation as well? Last I checked Ukraine was suppose to be independent of Russia no? Both sides have alot to win or loose on this, I don't disagree with you. However, as your pointing out to others, you should not be one sided either.

Cheers,

Tim
