yushchenko was poisoned

Not that it's any sort of surprise really, but it's been confirmed. It is an uneasy feeling that an opposition candidate in a former Soviet Republic (one of the nuclear ones if I remember...or did they give them up?) is attacked in a very Soviet-style way. Hopefully the uprising amongst the people takes hold and this news destroys the current government and a more stable, less Soviet, government can come to power. Democracy can only take hold when the people want it...and Ukrainians want it, and so I wish it for them.
