Lately there seems to be far too much "its Bush's fault".

Its a fact. Do to an odd set of circumstances the only executive authority in the Shiavo case are the two Bush brothers; and, neither one has chosen to use their authority. They have begged the courts to take action; they have begged the legislature to take action; but, neither has had the conviction to use the constitutional authority vested in their own office to provide a remedy.

[SE Mom]

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

Why is it assumed that the president and governor are "not acting" for lack of courage? Perhaps they are acting in accord with THEIR convictions.

There is no happy ending to this case. It's my opinion a good deal of the fault lies with the legal advice Terri's family has received.
