West Palm Beach, FL, Oct. 16 (UPI) -- President George W. Bush signed legislation Saturday requiring the State Department to monitor anti-Semitism around the world, the White House said.

The Global Anti-Semitism Awareness Act was sponsored by California Democratic Representative Tom Lantos, a Holocaust survivor.

Under the legislation the State Department would be required to form a special office to monitor anti-Semitism, produce an annual report on anti-Semitism, rate countries annually on the treatment of Jews and make recommendations for action to correct anti-Semitism practices.

The White House announced Bush's action in Florida, where he was campaigning Saturday.

Great. Now we're the world's Global hate crimes cop.

That's what I mean by it's never going to stop....any of it. It's just a question of who will bring us under totalitarian tyranny the fastest. I haven't seen many rollbacks of big government in the past 4 years; have you? I will vote for the president because I like him and he is infinitely better than the alternative, but the bottom line is that we're screwed.
