...seem resigned to the war; few are enthusiastic about it. Democratic Senator Abraham Ribicoff estimated that his Connecticut aviary contains "about 15% doves and as many hawks," with the rest "basically in agreement with the President's policy." Nebraska's Republican Senator Roman Hruska found impatience and anger over the "almost constantly increasing casualty lists," but discerned neither a desire to pull out nor a consensus for a quick victory at any cost...

For this reason he declared himself responsible for all the misfortunes afflicting his nation, whether they be war, famine, or any other catastrophe, since these are "thien tai" (disasters from heaven). At such a time he had to pacify the "anger from the palace of heaven" (tran loi dinh) by confessing his unworthiness in edicts, sacrificing in solemn ceremony, ordering fasting for his court, etc. . . . Under the emperor, we see the mandarins who had to see to it that "all under heaven" (thien ha) were to live in peace and prosperity. In fact...
