BUSH LOVES SHARANSKY'S BOOK

AS DO I.

White House Letter: Bush Borrows a Page from Natan Sharansky - Elisabeth Bumiller
"I felt like Sharansky's book [The Case for Democracy] just confirmed what I believe," Bush said in an interview in the Oval Office last Thursday. "He writes it a heck of a lot better than I could write it, and he's certainly got more credibility than I have. After all, he spent time in a Soviet prison and he has a much better perspective than I've got." "That thinking, that's part of my presidential DNA," Bush said. "I mean, it's what I think; it's a part of all policy. Yes, it'll be in the State of the Union. It's in the Inaugural Address....It is part of my philosophy." (International Herald Tribune)
