the other bush should be president

I like Laura Bush. She's no Hillary Clinton (who happens to be one of my heroes), but she does make an effort to do the right thing. During her latest visit to the Middle East, she spoke out strongly in favor of women's rights: "Freedom, especially freedom for women, is more than the absence of oppression," she said. "It's the right to speak and vote and worship freely. Human rights requires the rights of women."

I was also impressed to learn what she did and said at the Holocaust History Museum at Yad Vashem, where she laid a wreath to the dead and wrote in the visitors book: "Each life is precious," adding: "We commit ourselves to reject hatred and to teach tolerance and live in peace."

She really would be a much better President than her husband.
