AddReply(319922,"When A Country\'s \'Legal\' System IS The Problem","Adina Kutnicki","Israel","07/02/08","There is absolutely no doubt that this analysis is correct. One needn\'t wonder anymore how it is possible that a Machiavellian political operative like Olmert (and others) can survive DESPITE all the corruption charges hovering around.\n\nSimply put, one cannot survive such naked corruption WITHOUT having the cooperation-overt or covert-and protection of the so called justice system\n\nWhile the police nominally serve the public, they wholly serve their political masters.\n\nTo this end, the moment cannot come soon enough before the entire \'authority\' system in Israel implodes. Some would argue that anarchy will prevail if this happens. I contend that the opposite will transpire. Once the corrupt legal/judicial system crumbles there will be room for an authentic separation of powers to emerge. Israel will be less like a banana republic and actually resemble a real democracy, instead of the disgraceful mirage of one it now actually is!");
