Leaving aside the particulars of Iraq for a moment, we have here a substantive majority of the House of Representative who believe that they received a mandate from the American people to change something in our government.

So they've boldly struck a dynamic pose before the TV cameras and done....

nothing.

No definitive action taken. More a "well, gee, we kinda sorta think that maybe, you know, you might want to not do that".

If the majority of Americans want something changed, and if the majority of the House truly believes the American people want it changed, then why take such a meaningless step?
