Can a single man force a nation to fight a war it does not want to fight, expand a war it does not want to expand--possibly to other countries? If he can, is that nation any longer a democracy in any meaningful sense? Is its government any longer a constitutional republic? If not, how can democratic rule and the republican form of government be restored? These are the unwelcome questions that President Bush's decision has forced on the country.

Nice touch on the inclusion of "democratic" and "republican," isn't it?
If there is only one thing that we should all come together on, it's the increasingly imperial nature of the presidency.
