[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Veers: [qb] Well, under Al Gore, we'd probably still have had 9/11, and Afghanistan, too, if he didn't bore the Taliban into giving up bin Laden with his ultimatum speech. But we wouldn't be in Iraq. [/qb][/QUOTE]I agree- 9/11 would have still happened: it was planned far in advance and set to have happened several months prior as it turns out. I dont think we'd have invaded Iraq. I do think that we'd be in a more vulnerable position for further attacks today if Gore was President though- part of what emboldened Al Quieda was the total lack of a response for the bombing of the USS Cole (something Bush's office also failed to address). I think we'd still have something like the Patriot Act to trample our rights (although the dems would've wisely called something less inane). I dont think we'd have any military morale under Gore: morale was at it's lowest under Clinton and Gore is not "Mr. Charisma". It's tough for a CO to order something unpopular when no one respects them and no one I know of in the military respected Clinton or Gore. Would we have invaded Afghanistan? Probably not. There would've been no coallition for it (despite intel. placing Al Queida there), I think we'd have limited retaliation to airstrikes and sanctions. Just my .02 The real question is: "What will [b]Kerry[/b] do if elected?" What do you guys think he'll do (terrorism-wise) that Busco is not doing now? [/QB][/QUOTE]
