So here's the deal, my son, a sophomore in high school has a project he's working on. As part of this project he asked me, "What three things would have been different today if Algore had been elected president instead of George W. Bush?"
I gave him some answers but told him it might be more fun to put the question out to fellow Freepers and see what answers he may get. I know we are talking about Algore but please keep it clean.

If Al Gore were elected instead of George Bush and 9/11 still occurred either we would be all dead or me and you would be wearing Burkhas and the men would be wearing turbans. The upside is that most of the Hollywood liberals would be gone.
Nothing else matteras, Hatteras.
OBL would be living in the White House.
The French would love us.
Sor starters we would fondly recall the days when we only paid 3 dollars per gallon for gas as we handed over the 5 dollars per.
I certainly hope the school didn't ask this question.
LOL, speak for yourself, my wife hates it when I steal her stockings as it is!
1) The international Left and the media would have supported Gore's invasion of Iraq.
Could you imagine what Lieberman would be doing vis-a-vis the Mid-East if he were VP right now? Just thinking of the pandering is giving me a headache.
3000 Americans would have died on Sept. 11th and all we would have done is lob a few TLAM's.
You'd be in the turban then and praying to Mecca.
But, you knew that. ;-)
If Gore had been elected, the WTC would still have been destroyed, but the Taliban and Saddam Hussein would still be in power; more terrorist attacks would be taking place, but Gore would still be telling us (as he is now) that global warming is the biggest issue we face.
there would ahve been another 9/11 in Chicago and LAX. Al Qaeda said they were preparing for another attack but were caught off gaurd by the ferociness of the US attacks in Afganistan.
I think the quaetion has anti-Bush bias to it.
Youre suppose to write how wonderful it would be with Gore.
I think the liklihood that we would have gotten any cooperation from the muslim world would have been greatly hampered because of Lieberman--it would have made a lot of that very difficult.
Also, I think the Iranians would have no inspections, the North Koreans would still be getting all that help from us as they proliferated.
I think we would have not dared strike back at Al Qaeda-- I think we would have decided to just absorb the bloow and grab our ankles.
Intervention in Afghanistan and Iraq would have been unlikely. The Taliban and Saddam Hussein would still be running their brutal regimes. There would be some cruise-missile shaped holes in empty desert and Algore would be constantly assuring us that 'everything possible is being done to track down those responsible for 9/11. Emboldened by a tepid response to 9/11, OBL would be doing what thugs always do- pushing harder at us. Possibly another high-visibility attack on American soil.
Government maditory prayer 5 times a day to Allah!
Mom would be complaining on how best to get gravy stains out of her Burka.
All internet pages converted into Islam
There's a few starters...
Instead of being on the road to recovery, the economy would be in the tank, due to stupid policies.
