Look at His Face!

Ukraine's security service has denied any involvement in the dioxin poisoning of Viktor Yushchenko, the country's top opposition leader and leading candidate in Sunday's rerun for the presidency. Meanwhile, Russia's Putin says that Ukraine will remain an "eternal" Russian ally. Of course, someone poisoned this democratic candidate, since he's the one threatening the cozy, repressive relationship between Ukraine and Russia. The whole affair is a sorry spectacle of reform gone bad, as the power oligarchs position themselves to return to dictatorship.
