would he have done the same things as President Wilson and President Roosevelt?

ie interment camps, cracking down on protesters, cracking down on other people deemed to no to be "helping"



granted, im glad we didnt find out but i myself believe a dem president would have simply repeated the civil rights fuck ups of ww1 and 2.

We would have lobbed some cruise missiles at some tent campsites, arrested those we could and have given them a civilian trial, and in general rubbed our pussy.

We would have over-reacted or under-reacted.





Most likely over-reacted in a harmful way.





Democrats since the 60s are known for being weak on foreign policy, and Al Gore would have wanted to 'show strength' right away without thinking about it long enough to come up with a coherent strategy.





This means we probably would have become so fixated on Afganhistan, that we would pound the snot out of the place - ignoring that the terrorists had already left & would never be back (and likely ignoring wherever they went next), and definately NOT opened the much-needed Iraqi front.



Since the American People can't comprehend anything beyond 'Bin Laden was in Afganhistan before 9/11', they would never hold the administration responsible for the 're-arranging rocks without killing any jihadis' war that they would fight...





Lots of ordnance, money & lives expended, no impact on Queda, but 'it would look like we were really pissed off on TV'... Oh, and Afganhistan would be further down the tubes than ever, rather than 'slightly better off than before 9/11' as they are today...

Im not so sure.  We've all seen he has quite a temper and has a few scews loose.  Would he have done what W did?  Maybe.  I doubt he would have brought the action to Iraq and would have probabaly concentrated on Afghanistan.  He may have been ls ay down like Billy Bledsoe, but I don't think so.

with al gore we would have bombed the shit out of Afghanistan.





and with al gore we would of still be dealing with iraq and its chemical/ nuclear weapons programs....parts of me still think war with iraq would of still happened happened, but not in 03, but 05.

Al Gore would have sent in CIA and SOF to do targeting for the Northern Alliance.  Once they retook the country, he would delcare victory and go back to a domestic agenda.  Then we would be hit a few years later.

Why?





North Korea isn't worth the money or manpower to invade...





They're contained, broken, and powerless - and as Asian atheist-communists, don't prevent the 'Arena in which to challenge Al Queda' that Iraq did....





Same thing for Iran, except substitute 'Persian Shiites' for 'Asian Atheist Communists'... Oh, and then we'd have to fight both Hezbollah (due to attacking Iran) AND Al Queda (everywhere else, due to the original war) - right now, Hezbollah is Israel's problem, not ours...





Neither of those two is 'Sunni Arab' (or better yet, 'Persecuted Sunni Arab Minority') and thus neither is a place to fight Al Queda.

The reality is, if we went to war with NK, SK would supply most/all the troops and we would supplement with our air and naval power.

SK's doctrine is to build a US independent force, which they are nearly there.

If a Democrat was President on 9/11... he may of taken the security brief "Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US" presented to him on August 6th, 2001 more seriously and ordered the FBI to aggressively pursue their at-the-time 70 domestic Bin Laden-related investigations.

you fail to understand no Muslim would have helped stop the attacks on 9-11 so you could have asked a billion questions but unless you were luckly enough to find someone that would speak to you, it was unstoppable.

Well, Afghanistan sucks to fight in for a conventional superpower (see the Soviets' Afghan War), and that's without the religious fanaticism of our current enemy embedded in that terrain (social and physical).

Iraq, with its cities and open deserts make for a much better battlefield for conventional forces, and acted as a lightning rod to draw fighters from across the world to where we could fight on better terms.

Also, Iraq is comparatively Westernized, so western concepts aren't as alien to the locals.

I think that's what Dave means, anyway, he'll be back and say it better later.
