Too much politics have emasculated our senators and turned them into cowering mice. The voter rejection of the war and the mandate to end the war has not trumped the senatorial cowards seeking political cover . So thousands still die in Iraq with no end in sight.
The Roman Emperor Caligula had somewhat the same situation with his senate. What the issue was, I don't know. But in a symbolic gesture, he brought in a real horse into the Roman Curia. Caligula's message was simple, cut the political posturing and show some horse/common sense.
