Natan Sharansky
Late last year George W. Bush hailed Natan Sharansky as a beacon of democracy. His book The Case for Democracy had been used by the administration as a blueprint to spread freedom. Earlier this month Sharansky resigned from his post as Minister of Diaspora Affairs and Jerusalem in protest over Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s disengagement plan. Sharansky indicated that his reasoning stemmed from his deep concern that if Israel left Gaza, democratic reform would not take place.
