Sharansky's Influence

By most accounts, many in the Bush Administration have read Natan Sharansky's latest book, The Case for Democracy: The Power of Freedom to Overcome Tyranny and Terror, and most agree that Bush's thinking about the GWOT and America's role in the world has been heavily influenced by it, as was evident in Bush's Inaugural speech. After hearing Bush's speech last week, my father-in-law's comment was that now, if anything goes wrong, the Jews will once again be blamed. It seems that this article, judging by its tone, would confirm his view.
