Ukraine

In the Ukraine 150,000 supporters of pro-Western opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko protested their election results and Yushchenko took a symbolic oath of office.
The oath-taking signaled dramatic rejection of the vote count in that favored Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovich.
In what appears to be a rye joke American officials harshly denounced the conduct of the election, with the White House and State Department calling for a thorough investigation and urging that no winner be declared.
Russian President Vladimir V. Putin, who had indicated his preference for Yanukovich during the campaign, also called for a peaceful solution and backtracked from earlier indications that he already considered Yanukovich the winner, emphasizing instead that there was still no final result.
"Guns should speak the truth," Yushchenko declared. "Guns should never speak against their people."
The outgoing President, Kuchma, is looking for a peaceful solution, which have been condemned by Western governments and foreign observers as fraudulent.
The hypocritical position of Bush in meddling in the affairs of Ukraine should be obvious.
He is being tolerated now as Americans formed our democracy without outside interference. In our democracy the President is point man with foreign countries but that does not make him a global dictator.
British petroleum companies will be effected by the outcome of this election and apparently the primary motive for Bush.
It would be best for Bush to put to his own nation’s interests ahead of British Petroleum, which owns large portion of the American and Russian oil industry.
