    CROWLEY: The president meets reality

    FEULNER: Jobs we all pay for

    Public sector expands at the expense of the private

    by Ed Feulner

But Mr. Yushchenko's performance in office was a disaster; in last month's presidential election, he finished in fifth place with a dismal 5.4 percent. His failure serves as a stark reminder of the risks when Washington intervenes in foreign politics.
