Bush's new book for a new term
BBC


When it comes to President George W Bush and books, the most enduring image remains that of his reading My Pet Goat to a class of primary school children as planes flew into the World Trade Center on 11 September 2001.
But Mr Bush is hoping that another publication will come to define his second term in office.

The commander-in-chief has been actively promoting the latest work by former Soviet Jewish dissident - and Israeli politician - Natan Sharansky, recommending it as a must-read for those who want to grasp his own world view.

Among the book's many virtues listed by Mr Bush is its brevity. But most importantly, Mr Sharansky's 286-page Case for Democracy mirrors his own views on promoting democracy around the world.

In his book, Mr Sharansky echoes many of the president's favourite themes, likening the fight against terrorism to the struggle with Nazism and communism, and describing a world "divided between those who are prepared to confront evil and those who are willing to appease it".

2. * has never read this book
The story was given to the media by Rove to further prop up * as a compassionate man. Disgusting.

3. So, the old coloring book was completely filled in already?
Or was that a "forgery"?

Let's go to the font!
