It's hard not to look at Zbubes sitch and think what would I do if I were in his shoes. It's hard not to look at his sitch and scream: "Get out, for God's sake man! Get out! You've served your time. Your kids are suffering! You've done your time!" In fact, I believe I've screamed those very words at him.
But Zbube has made it very clear repeatedly over and over time and time again that he is not getting out. He's not. He's not. He's not. He has his reasons, some good, some probably very bad and wrong-headed... but they're his reasons.
I have decided to support that decision, because I don't want him to be all alone in this.
As long as we keep questioning his decision, he has to keep defending it to us and to himself. Maybe if he no longer needs to defend his position to us, he may become unable to defend it to himself. Then other possibilities may present themselves.
