Rice calls for patience on Iraq, By Mary Ann Ostrom, San Jose Mercury News
Ah, but what if the United States Government, (Executive Branch) refuses to enforce the laws made by the United States Government (Legislative Branch)?
While at the same time, the United States Government, (Judicial Branch) is acting on the maxim that "it's not over until the alien wins."
That would be be the kind of corruption and abandonment of the rule of law that has traditionally led to vigilantism.
It's not dissimilar to the kind of situation that led to the Civil Rights protests of the Sixties. Would Dr. Rice insist that the activities of the "Freedom Summer" should have been left up to the government, and the government alone?
