Demokracy Made in USA

The US is already threatening punitive action against Ukraine because 
their candidate lost elections there. How about Ukraine's Kuchma 
stops all trade with the US, seizes all American vessels in Ukraine's 
ports, deports all US citizens currently visiting Ukraine, and opens 
all its borders to the West, so any Ukrainian who wishes to leave may 
do so?

Why is this so that when Ukraine's bureaucracy cheats on democracy 
they are threatened with economic sanctions, but when the U.S. 
bureaucracy does the same, everybody in the world just sucks it up? 
Obviously, that must be because of American military and financial 
supremacy, not because of its intrinsic belief in the value of 
democracy. Otherwise Americans would be busy pressing for Ohio 
recounts, not for Kiev recounts.

The only justice in the Ukrainian electoral fraud is that it was paid 
by the U.S. money, and that the armoured vehicles keeping Kuchma in 
the government building are paid by American aid as well. According 
to the State Department, Washington budgeted some $143.47 million in 
aid for Ukraine for the year that ended on Sept. 30, including $61.98 
million for security and law enforcement, $34.11 million for 
democracy....

34 million pays for a lot of fuel to bus around people who would vote 
for your candidate from one to another polling station, doesn't it? 
How much did the electoral fraud cost in the U.S. (that one was paid 
for by Saudis, awarding Diebold contract to operate ATMs, after 
Diebold voting machines secured GWB presidency)?
