Natan Sharansky believes in the power of freedom to change the world. A former Soviet dissident turned Israeli politician, Sharansky sees the world sharply divided between fear societies and free societies, dictators and democrats.
Sharansky says the West is facing just such a political landscape, and has two choices. It either can confront evil or appease it. Sharansky commends President Bush for doing the right thing when he stands up to and takes down dictators, and President Bush commends Sharansky for putting these thoughts in a recent book.
From Afghanistan to Iraq, to Saudi Arabia, Egypt and former Soviet countries — Sharansky says no country, no government; no culture should be off limits. The case for democracy with Natan Sharanksy.
Guests:
Natan Sharansky, former Soviet political prisoner and current Israeli government minister, author of “The Case for Democracy: The Power of Freedom to Overcome Tyranny & Terror.”
