    Afghanistan was protecting bin Ladn. I think any President would have taken action.

      There’s a good chance that the 2003 Iraq war wouldn’t have happened, though. That was very much a Neo-Con project of the Bush administration.

        That’s a whole other issue.

        in my opinion, Bush Jr. was going to invade Iraq no matter what. 9/11 was just the excuse.

          I thought this whole thought exercise was based on the assumption that Gore became president in 2000 instead of Bush?
