Interesting speculation. It made me wonder, if Al had taken us to war instead of Bush, how would that have affected the perception of this war? Would we have more international support? What role would the MSM play?
I would bet that the countries that hate us now, would still hate us. They can’t help it. They enjoy hating us too much to stop.
The MSM would probably be more even handed in balancing achievement vs. failure stories. My gut tells me Gore would have made some mistakes, since no war is perfect (and my gut never lies).
The question mark is how we as a country would have responded under a Gore led assault. Would the Repubs have supported Gore on this? Would the Cindy Sheehan crowd still exist? Would Hollywood be making war hero movies? My gut is unsure. Better go have breakfast.
