Food For Thought

On Fox News Sunday, Bill Kristol, from The Weekly Standard, talked about how Natan Sharansky's [former Soviet dissident and political prisoner, now Israeli Cabinet Minister] book influenced Bush's inaugural speech... Kristol then shared that when Sharansky watched the president's speech, he turned to someone and said he wished Andre Sakharov (another former soviet dissident) was alive to hear those words come out of the mouth of an American President.

I don't always agree with Sharansky, but I'm looking forward to reading his book.
