Big changes brewing in U.S. government beyond Presidential election

Tuesday’s special Mississippi election shows major shift in U.S. foreign policy

14 May, By: Editorial Staff

The win of a U.S. House of Representatives’ congressional seat by a Democratic candidate, from a district traditionally a stronghold of support for Bush’s Republican administration indicates that the American public is increasingly anxious to move away from policies that led to the unpopular war in Iraq, and disastrous management of re-construction in Afghanistan.
