This article discusses Congressional politics in the United States. The efforts of U.S. House minority leader Nancy Pelosi against U.S. military efforts in Iraq are highlighted, with the author praising Pelosi for her courage in leading the Democratic Party against Republican Party forces. The author also criticizes U.S. Senate minority leader Harry Reid for not possessing similar courage, though many antiwar Senators are celebrated for their legislative efforts.
