Apples and oranges, ake. Obama was not running. And no, I don't think we would be where we are today if Al Gore had won. Good grief.

Bush never felt a need for diplomacy and swaggered eagerly into a fight - make that two fights - without an exit strategy. Does that sentence describe either Gore or Kerry?

It's been said before but I'll repeat it here: The action taken against the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon that awful day was a crime that needed to be viewed as such. It was not instigated by a country.

With all the good will the world extended us subsequent to those events I don't doubt but that the world's nations would have joined us to find and root out and bring to justice the criminals of that day.
