"In 1992 Mr. D'Souza put it this way: "Straussians have an intellectual rigor that is very attractive. They have extolled the idea of the statesman and the notion of advising the great, the prince, like Machiavelli or Aristotle. This is necessary because the prince is not always the smartest guy in the world."

Funny, this is a slam, pure and simple against Bush regarding the books he reads.

Ever notice the NYTimes NEVER reports the books Hitler read? Hitler WAS a bookworm, and had thousands of them, including "The Secret Doctrine". Wonder why that is...

I believe Mr. Bush read and endorsed Bernard Goldberg's 'BIAS.' He also reads the Bible from what I hear. Seems like a pretty good "fertile philosophical matrix for policy decisions" to me...

"How Books have shaped U.S. policy...."

Why do these fools ignore the Bible as a source document for our Constitution and Foreign Policy...
Didn't these fools ever hear of Manifest Destiny?

The President reads the Bible.

All Western literature, whether intentionally or not, is commentary on the Bible or on Plato.

No one can consider themselves truly literate unless they know their Bible well.
