What our world would be like today if the Supreme Assholes hadn't stopped the recount in Florida in 2000. We wouldn't be in Iraq - a war of choice for "Daddy" and money. None of us can speculate if Gore would have been able to prevent the attacks on 9/11 but at least he wouldn't have eviscerated counter-intelligence in February 2001 and might have done more than skim the intelligence briefly a week before the attacks. But even if we had been hit we would have pursued a very different strategy in Afghanistan.
Our foreign policy wouldn't have alienated our friends and allies. We wouldn't have tortured. Gitmo wouldn't exist.
We would be 8 years further ahead on critical issues such as a prudent energy policy, climate change, health care, etc.
