I have a good friend who is Russian, and he naturally thinks everthing is fixed. The Iraq war, for example, actually killed ten's of thousands of Americans. It was hidden from America by a massive conspiracy,
He grew up under Stalin, so I can excuse his ignorance.
How someone with a western education coud be so niave as to think U.S. elections are fixed under a huge slient conspiracy - that is truly scary, and indicates how poor the education system must be that it is possible to gradulate without some fundamental understanding of logic and reality.

It's not just the Moscow times that I (and many others) are basing this on. Even Greg Palast of the BBC has featured numerous articles as well as a highly rated TV documentary on American vote-fixing. The mass-fixing of votes in America is a new and developing phenomena. No one (that I know of) is claiming that American elections have been fixed for decades or centuries through vote manipulation. But certain aspects of the 2000 presidential election certainly were and, mark my words, the 2004 presidential election certainly will be.
