A. K. A. Loose Canon
We just don't get it.
Canossa is a pretty apt metaphor for this. Another one that comes to mind: Les bourgeois de Calais, in typical cheese-eating surrender mode.
How about AA's favorite of Gen Wang opening the gates of the Great Wall to let in the Mongols?
I saw one of the Rodin pieces at the Glyptotek. It is fantastic.
That was General Wu.... on the other hand, it was those Manchu.
Sorry about my Chinese name mix-up. Like President Obama, I screwed up.
