Ukraine faces more street protests
Ukraine has faced more mass street protests from an opposition complaining it was cheated of the presidency by the Moscow-backed Government, and the political split has threatened to turn violent.

Western observers have said that Sunday's election, which preliminary results say Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovich won, fell far short of international standards and the United States warned of punitive measures if the Ukraine Government failed to investigate allegations of vote rigging.

More than 100,000 supporters of liberal, West-leaning candidate Viktor Yushchenko poured into the streets of Kiev on Monday after the result became clear and the charges of vote count fraud mounted. (Gee, why don't the Americans have the courage of the Ukrainians???)

At least 1,500 supporters for Mr Yushchenko spent the night in insulated tents near Independence Square, the scene of the major pro-opposition rally the previous day, braving freezing night temperatures.

On Tuesday morning several thousand supporters sporting Mr Yushchenko's bright orange campaign colours were milling around among the ranks of tents stretching part way down Khreshchatyk, Kiev's elegant main street.

Occasionally, supporters would break off from drinking soup and hot beverages to burst into rhythmic chants of "Yushchenko, Yushchenko".

The authorities have said that any lawlessness would be quickly suppressed.

The West spoke of blatant irregularities. Nationalist western regions rejected official returns and said they would recognise only Mr Yushchenko's authority.

could control and cheat in the U.S. elections. We really should listen up with the rhetoric they are using on these Ukraine elections. Wouldn't it be nice to turn it around on them and use their own words against them?
