If history is merely a bad movie endlessly repeating itself, then history is meaningless. If all killing amounts to the same thing, you can't possibly save the world by fighting wars. Allen doesn't say these things but plainly implies them.

These ideas are important: Americans must decide whether they are fools to fight for other people's freedom. The Iraq war was partly inspired by none other than Natan Sharansky -- who passionately preaches that free people must battle tyranny militarily. Referring to Sharansky's "The Case for Democracy," President Bush said: "If you want a glimpse of how I think about foreign policy, read Natan Sharansky's book."

How fortunate this country is.

"If you want a glimpse of how I think about foreign policy, read Natan Sharansky's book."

I would implore the president to start acting like it when dealing with Israel. Questionably the most important aspect of the book deals with appeasement, and the negative effects it has brought to both the free countries who wield it and the fear countries who thrive on it. Unfortunately the President (who I have the utmost respect for) has been utilizing a double standard in respect to the state of Israel. Appeasing a fear society never works...ask Natan......
