I think Gore would have handled 9/11 fine, for a starters being "presidential" in a time of crisis is like shooting fish in a barrel (hell *OUR* prime ministers support went up 10-15% because of what happened in *YOUR* country.. at times of national crisis the people get behind their leaders), Clintons anti-terrorism proposals wouldn't have been scrapped and redrawn in partisan scent marking and would have already been implemented by 9/11 perhaps preventing it, and crushing Al-Queada in Afghanistan with the world's support isn't too much of a feat.
Iraq though.. yeah, that would have been handled differently.. Can't say better or worse though.
