Iraq though.. yeah, that would have been handled differently.. Can't say better or worse though.

Oh yes Clintons anti terrorism policies worked wonders.
I do agree that any president would have done Afghanistan. I doubt however that Gore would have taken as a hard a line as Bush with the "You're either with us or against us." stuff. We'll never know of course but on Iraq I think he would have continued Clinton's all talk no action policy.
