Europe, too
The European Union’s foreign policy chief, Javier Solana, said, “We will not accept elections that are fraudulent.”
That’s the Ukraine they’re talking about, not the USA.

American hypocrisy
I wish I had a direct quote from Colin Powell, but here’s the essence (from the New York Times):
Western election observers, and Western leaders, have been unequivocally critical of Sunday’s election here, saying the extensive documentation of organized fraud and the abuse of state powers to the prime minister’s advantage have tainted its official result and called into question its validity.
I’d say we have pretty extensive documentation of organized fraud and the abuse of state powers in the US election, yet for some reason Western leaders are just accepting the official results.
