know legal authority trumps moral authority.

I agree... Just hours ago 8.2 earthquake in Indonesia with warnings for Tsunami's. Telling people to evacuate.
I just know if these people get clobbered again, The president will anounce our mercy by sending aid. The US will RACE over there with food, water, and medicine for these people.. This to me, this senario will be so INSULTING in light of Terri's starvation and abuse by our Government..

The U.S. is already planning on an 'early response if the situation calls for it.
But, when is that a "first" for the USA?
We have a lot hypocrisy which spans Demo and GOP administration alike.
For example: We have all kinds of elite units operating along the Syrian/Iraqi border, working with the Iraqi government, to try to keep people from infiltrating into Iraqi terrority--the ultimate in Border Control, backed by our $$$--yet we cannot do a damned thing with 3000 illegals coming across our OWN border a day...and then the President angry at Americans who take action because they are fed up.
And, as you said, we critize North Korean for a policy of starvation, and we rush to Indonesia to fill the stomachs of those poor people, but we cannot find it in ourselves to have our own leaders in the US step in to assist someone being starved to death in the public spotlight.
So many churches in America and a "Red State" victory for Bush, then such a widespread laissez faire attitude about Terri.
