Talk:The Case for Democracy

[edit] proof?
- Is there any proof that Bush and Rice read the book and praised it? --Mecanismo 13:58, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

It's the Washington Times.
Excerpt: Mr. Bush: If you want a glimpse of how I think about foreign policy read Natan Sharansky's book "The Case for Democracy." Anybody read it? Read it. It's a great book. And I think it will help - it will help explain a lot of the decisions that you'll see being made - you've seen made and will continue to see made. And it will help explain what's going to happen in the Palestinian territories as far as we're concerned. For government, particularly [-] for opinion makers, I would put it on your recommended reading list. It's short and it's good. This guy is an heroic figure, as you know. It's a great book.

- Another source which shows Rice has read the book is at [abc.net.au http://www.abc.net.au/rn/talks/lnl/s1299259.htm]. I would say the line should be cleaned up somewhat but it does seem well source and backed. -- I would also suggest that we remove the cleanup-verify tag. - Etcher 00:49, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
