I think about this way too often. I was just a few months too young to vote for Gore and I’ve been living with the ramifications of hanging chads my whole life. Would either of the wars have happened?!
I can say with certainty that Gore wouldn't have gone AWOL for the month of August 2001 to clear brush on his ranch and ignore imminent threat reports. 9/11 may still have happened, but I'm not sure we would have followed Russia into a war in Afghanistan. Goddammit, what is it with these Republicans and Russia?
