Hero: Viktor Yuschenko:He was sworn in as President of Ukraine today after overcoming a rigged election and many legal challenges from his rival Viktor Yanukovych.

After everything the man has been through,his victory certainly is heroic but he faces many challenges in bringing stability and unity to his country.

Villain: Abu Musab al-Zarqawi:In the latest recording purportedly from the leader of Iraq's Al-Qaeda affiliate,he declared a "fierce war" on democracy and called candidates running in the elections "demi-idols" and said those who vote for them "are infidels".

Hopefully this vile individual will be brought to justice soon enough.He is a sorry excuse for a human being.
