Hillary says US should back Ukraine
 | Damn! It's so obvious! Why didn't I think of that? |
| Nobody but nobody scuttles to the front of a poll like a Clinton. |
LONDON: The United States should back Ukraine's struggle for democracy by inviting the new president to Washington for a state visit, but only if the elections are free and fair, US Senator Hillary Clinton said on Monday in a commentary for London's Financial Times. "Today, amid the 'Orange Revolution,' the Ukrainian people are once again demonstrating that they will not give up in the movement towards democracy and freedom," Clinton, the wife of former president Bill Clinton, said in a piece published the day after the rerun presidential election in the former Soviet Republic. Such freedom went beyond the right to vote, the senator, a Democrat who could become a presidential contender in 2008, said.
