I don't know if any americans have realised this yet, but a Knighthood in England is basically a "Presidential Medal of Freedom", UK style.
AFAIC, TBL deserves it more than anyone. And if he accepts it, it's his choice.
As for the monarchy, I'm from.au and we wanted to become a republic once. It failed miserably because people didn't like the model the Government came up with.
The only defference between the Queen and the President is she was born into it, whereas he had to BUY his way into it (not without some help from daddy).
