Democracy's last line of defence

George Bush continues to pursue an ever more imperial Presidency and I think I speak for most people when I say that there is increasing concern over his intentions re Iran. There must be concern that even if Congress explicitly bars him from taking military action such is his hubris that he will attempt to proceed in any case. Should that come to pass then the only thing that stands between the American people and dictatorship may be the honour of those senior members of the military who would refuse his orders and resign. Should it come to that one thinks that anyone who follows in their footsteps would not dare to proceed with the Boy King's madness.

At least that is what one hopes.
