#1 Boy, and I was just starting to think there was some good news coming out of the middle east. Thank you, BBC, for pointing out how what few friends we have are abandoning us. Every silver lining has a cloud. (I made that up a long time ago, but can't make the little copyright symbol).

#2 Well, Yushchenko campaigned on this (and other things) last year, so it's no surprise. Actually, I believe Yanukovych said he would keep the troops in, if elected. Still, it's probably better that Yushchenko won, and certainly better that Ukraine has more honest elections than Washington and Wisconsin.

#3 They sent their troops with the clear understanding that they would go home after free elections. No suprise here.

#8 These guys actually accomplished something in Iraq, unlike the Koreans, who not only got there late, but have been hunkered down at their base camp in Kurdistan for the entire period they've been in-country.
