I'll be the first to admit that I have little knowledge of the Ukraine and I'll be just as involved in my crash course about the country as the rest of you. I don't know what Viktor Yushchenko, the opposition candidate in their disputed elections, stands for. But this photo of Yulia Tymoshenko, his "top ally," displays the best way I've even seen to deal with riot police. And if this is symbolic of what Yushchenko stands for, then I'm standing with him.
