Rice turns up the heat on Belarus

Secretary of State Condi Rice has met with Belarusian dissidents in Lithuania and sent a strong message about the totalitarian regime that runs that country and the Russians that support it.

Pressure is good, but ultimately it is up to the people of Belarus to throw off their oppressors the way that Georgia, Ukraine and Kyrgystan have. Read more about Rice's comments here.
