My Country Tis of Thieves....

Thinking back to the 2000/2004 elections, I wonder about what would have happened if we had elected Kerry or the other Democrate running during 2000. The events that have happened over the past six years would still have taken place. But I wonder about what would have been handled differently

Most of the big stuff would be the same (9/11, Afganistan War, etc). But it's pretty certain that if Gore were elected, we'd not be in Iraq. So there's one big difference. Saddam would be in power, but there would be a lot more people alive. (Good or bad, that's up to you to decide

You say it is "pretty certain" that we wouldn't be in Iraq had Gore been elected. How can you be so sure? Just because a politician says *now* that they wouldn't have done that, doesn't mean anything. There is still the chance that we would be overseas - just because the leadership of this country seems to have a superiority complex.

And let's say Kerry was elected. We would probably still be in Iraq right now, with the people saying, well if we had elected Bush again, we wouldn't be there anymore.

But as the saying goes, Hindsight is always 20/20 and even with what we have seen so far on the Republican side of leadership, the people will still vote a Republican into office for the next election.
