And the alternative is not nice
Natan Sharansky admits to being a frequent critic of President Bush; however, unlike many, he knows when someone trying to do the right thing...
In the April 24, 2006 Wall Street Opinion Journal, Natan Sharansky writes:
"Critics rail against every step on the new and difficult road on which the United States has embarked. Yet in pointing out the many pitfalls which have not been avoided and those which still can be, those critics would be wise to remember that the alternative road leads to the continued oppression of hundreds of millions of people and the continued festering of the pathologies that led to 9/11."
"Now that President Bush is increasingly alone in pushing for freedom, I can only hope that his dissident spirit will continue to persevere. For should that spirit break, evil will indeed triumph, and the consequences for our world would be disastrous."
