Democracy is a Process

Here's what Steven Hadley, Bush's National Security Advisor said about Bush's speech today at the U.N.:

"He'll talk about the need to focus on results," Mr Hadley said. "You've heard him say he's kind of an outcomes guy, not a process guy, and sometimes we spend too much time on the process and not enough time on the outcomes."

Circumventing process is what got us into the Iraq war. It got us Guantanamo Bay, torture, and spying on American citizens. It got us the Unitary Executive theory of the presidency which vests all power in the president. Democracy is about process. It's time we elected people who don't despise and abuse our system of government.
