OhioWfan,

I agree with you that what Gov. and Pres. Bush have done thusfar is unprecedented. And God bless them for being on the side of life.

However....IF Terri dies it will most certainly appear to the entire WORLD, that Gov. Bush and Pres. Bush were not able in this Land of the Free and home of the Brave, to save ONE helpless woman.

How can we rescue entire countries from tyranny and yet *possibly* show the world that our President is HELPLESS to save this one life?

THE WORLD IS WATCHING.

President Bush, please act now.

Exactly. The protesters need to UNITED their voices into one rallying call. The more of them that speak the louder it will get. Remote TV crews on the scene will have no option but to have that running in the background.

"THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING! THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING!"

They could start with five or ten people. I would imagine it would grow in intensity. That, against the backdrop of people trying to give her a glass of water for her thirst, will speak volumnes as a news image.

I agree. By ohiowfan's nickname, her respect for W is obvious. I like him and Jeb too. But, they have the duty to protect not just America or the state of Florida as a whole, but individual Americans and Floridians.

Should Terri be killed, W's calls to provide freedom to the Iraqis, Afghans, etc. will ring hollow when he wouldn't take steps he's empowered to do to save the life on one disabled American woman.

He has sworn an oath to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution. That doesn't mean he's protecting a piece of paper. That means he's upholding and protecting the laws of the United States, which includes the individual rights of every American. President Bush has the power of the executive order, which he can exercise should he wish to do so. Jeb has sworn the same sort of oath to Florida.
