If you're not the side that Uncle Sam favours then it seems you're just not allowed to win an election fairly and squarely. And, as Viktor Yanukovych may be about to find out, you should prepare for night after night of street protests, which will, courtesy of CNN and the BBC, be broadcast all over the world. It's a fix! So claims Yulia Tymoshenko, the defeated candidate in yesterday's Ukrainian presidential elections. Even before a vote was cast, Tymoshenko had been warning her rival Viktor Yanukovych of "the kind of resistance he has never seen before" if he tried to rig the election. "If we are unable to guarantee the honest expression of the people's will and honest results, we will mobilise the people," she said. "I have no doubt about this." Now that she has indeed lost we can prepare ourselves for days - even weeks - of protests as her supporters attempt to annul the result.
