I would agree with you certainly on Gore and Afghanistan, Iraq is a tougher call. Of course, Gore wouldn’t have had the psychotic break that he had after losing the election, so it’s possible he could have been the fairly hawkish Dem that he was in the 90′s, and rode the wave into Iraq as well. Certainly no one really thought that the George W. Bush of the 2000 campaign was interested in starting a preemptive war in Iraq when he was running for President.
I certainly agree with your point about the Dems “growing up” on foreign policy if Hillary wins, I’m not so sure about Obama and Edwards, because I think their sheer cluelessness about the world we live in could get us hurt. Hillary will likely bomb the hell out of Iran if the occasion arises.
