Senator Byrd

Who is this man, this white-haired veteran of many years on years as Senator? Who is this man, a former member of the KKK, having pushed away his racist past and now speaking of tears?

We flaunt our superpower status with arrogance, he says. And he bemoans the years it will take to fix our shattered image abroad.

Who is this man who speaks so clearly from the unpopular side of the fence while those on the other side wave their flags and mock any who said no to war?

Who is he that he can still say no even though the point is now moot?

Today I weep for my country, he says.

Why are the Senate chambers so empty while he speaks?
