Hmmm, so in other words, its Bush's fault. Sounds eerily familiar. . . .

No. It's most immediately the fault of Michael Schaivo, Greer, and Felos.

Pilate's wrong was not that he killed Jesus but rather that he did not intervene, and instead declared "I am innocent of this man's blood. It is your concern." In reality, Pilate was not innocent when he washed his hands because he omitted to use his power to stop the wrong from being done and thus permitted the crucifixion to occur.

Bush somewhat similarly committed a sin of ommission by deciding against intervention out of fear that he would be contradicting a corrupt and evil judge. He thus permitted the starvation of Terri Schaivo to occur.

And no, for any lurkers out there, making this analogy is NOT the same as saying Terri Schaivo was Jesus. It is a comparison of Jeb's sinful ommission to Pilate's sinful ommission, as the two are unavoidably similar.

Not really. Pilate answered to NO ONE-- he was the ruler, and Jeb answers to a Lot of people. In the same way, W, as much as he wanted to, could not just had said "get her back on the tube, now", and it be an absolute decree. Bush is not a KING-- he is the president, and as much as it would had been good for him to had been able to do that, he cannot, by the laws of the constitution.
