Bush, on Jan. 20: "So it is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world." Sharansky, Page 278: "The diversity of the world ensures that there will always be argument and conflict. But I do believe that there can be an end to lasting tyranny - that we can live in a world where no regime that attempts to crush dissent will be tolerated."
Bush, on Jan. 20: "We do not accept the existence of permanent tyranny because we do not accept the possibility of permanent slavery." Sharansky, Page 278: "Just as the institution of slavery has been all but wiped off the face of the earth, so too can government tyranny become a thing of the past." In Jerusalem last week, Sharansky said his conversation about his book with the president convinced him that "he had not only read it but really felt it." The two moved from there to the subject of Iraq, Sharansky said.
