young people braving the freezing cold winter in Ukraine during the "orange revolution" last december 2004...thousands of people was there at maidan square in kyiv during the orange revolution...the people power that over turned the previous "official" proclaimed president last 2004 election...the orange revolution was heard for it's scream to have another presidential election as the "official" proclaimed president was said that the election was manipulated in favor of his opposition (yanokovich)... another election was held...and this time he (yuchengko) won as the new president...which of course didn't recognized by the other party...hence protesting still going on...inspite of the proclamation of the new president...as for the young and old people alike that protested and joined the "orange revolution" they were happy and satisfied that their candidate won the second time...the questions now are: does the new president meeting the expectations of the people of Ukraine (mostly young Ukrainians) that they have of him? can his new government deliver what it says? can his government live up to the expectations of the Ukrainian people? can he make the change in the government system that they've been expecting and waiting for for a long time? can he lead the nation of Ukraine to the democrat and corrupt-free government? can his government give hope to the hopeless young Ukrainian? just a few questions that i am sure are in the mind of the people of Ukraine now that they put their elected president in it's position...we just have to wait and see...besides, it is still too early to tell...or is it?
