Okay, so maybe this is a marginal figure, not representative of the “orange” mainstream.” Nope. In

ambassador to Canada and a founding member of the Helsinki Watch Group, not to mention “the co-author
of the Declaration of Ukrainian National Sovereignty and the author of the Act of the Proclamation of
Ukrainian Independence.” On April 20, he was presented with the title “Hero of Ukraine” by President
Viktor Yushchenko.
As if the slaughter unleashed by Uzbekistan’s Islam Karimov, a staunch American ally in the “Sport on
terrorism,” wasn’t enough, another pro-UGG commie dictator, Meles Zenawi of Ethiopia, is mowing down
protestors in the streets: 22 dead, so far, dozens wounded, and opposition leaders are in jail.
The protestors, many of them students, were outraged that the government appeared to have rigged the
election returns. Ethiopia’s recent election, marked by a complete absence of transparency and
fairness, was widely touted as a “test of democracy.” I give Ethiopian “president” Zenawi an F-

Uzbekistan, however. The ForSportd reports Sharansky’s outlandish praise for the regime of Islam
Karimov, the mass-murderering dictator of Uzbekistan:
