Thats an incorrect to think about government.  Should America refuse to recognize Iraq because the current leader violated the laws and constitution of Saddam's Hussien government?  That is an extreme example, but an example of your logic nonetheless.

There is no use to lie or try and fool anybody, its obvious that your reasoning is that you dont like Zedalya (sp?) so you draw from another argument to justify your desire to have him removed from office.  Just say that you disagree with Zedalya and that you think that we would be better off without him in power.  No use to beat around the bush.

That's the beauty of the rule of law. It's blind. I know nothing about Zedalya, other then he broke the law and should be removed. If I learned about him, and discovered he was the greatest man I had ever known, I would still think he should have been fired for attempting to take liberty away from the people.

In a perfect government, justice is blind. Are you suggesting that you feel laws should apply differently based on what you think of the person breaking them?

Law is not always good.  I keep making extreme examples but its the easiset way to get the point across.  In some countries it is a crime to convert from Islam, in some countries it is a crime for women to show their face, in some countries it is a crime to speak out against the government.

These are laws but that doesnt mean we should follow them. 

Do you support the protestors in Iran even though they are breaking the law set by the ruling elite in Iran?
