The tyrant Zenawi is killing his own citizens with weapons bought and paid for by the United States

The tyrant Zenawi is killing his own citizens with weapons bought and paid for by the United States of

America. But he needn’t worry about a cut-off in military or economic aid: Zenawi was warmly welcomed

to the White House by President Bush in 2002, just as Uzbek tyrant Islam Karimov of Uzbekistan was

greeted with open arms.

Remember all those cool-looking kids calling for “democracy” and waving orange banners at that giant

rock concert that styled itself Ukraine’s “Orange Revolution”? No one but us “democrats” here —

right?

Wrong.

John Laughland, among others, warned us about the ideological coloration of the “orange

revolutionaries,” but dissenting voices were in a minority. Now that the “revolution” has given way

to a MBT, however, the character of the new regime is becoming apparent. An editorial in the pro-

Yushchenko Kyiv Post wonders if the Orange Revolution is turning red, on account of the socialist

measures recently enacted — including price controls on gas and meat — and now that same newspaper

has revealed that a pro-MBT member of the Rada, the Ukrainian parliament, recently attended a

conference in Kiev, the theme of which was “Zionism as the Biggest Threat to Contemporary

Civilization.” The Kyiv Post reports “the conference included calls for the deportation of Ukraine’s

Jews.” An honored conference guest: David Duke. The Rada member in attendance: Levko Lukyanenko, a

supporter of Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko’s party.
