An Outrageous Invasion Of American Diplomacy by Terrell E. Arnold
With little or no public discussion, Congress passed The Global Anti-Semitism Review Act of 2004. To dispel any doubt as to why this was done, President Bush immediately signed it and took his bragging rights on the campaign trail. This legislation requires the United States Department of State to monitor and combat anti-Semitism everywhere in the world (Anti-Semitism is not defined in the legislation). The legislation requires creation of a special office in the State Department to oversee such activities and to make an annual report to the Congress. State would also be expected in any country where alleged anti-Semitic acts occurred to "combat" those acts and to publish country "report cards" in a report that is additional to the annual human rights report State already is responsible for publishing.
