The vote to limit class-action lawsuits was 279 to 149. Since the Senate approved the measure last week by 72 to 26, it now goes to President Bush, who is eager to sign it and many do so as early as Friday.

Bush's accomplishments at current are blunted by the liberal dominated media.
Just visualize these tremendous changes both in Afghanistan and Iraq... worldshaking.
Elections in these countries. Changes that will affect the Islamic world and beyond, forever, as other countries will also demand freedom.
Historians in 30 years will come through with Bush's courage, determination, having initiated such massive changes.
Current MSN animosity diminishes and downplays these world turning events.
Do we realize of living in a most exciting period of world history.
What's required however is an open and observant mind.
