Indeed, it would be a good thing, but it isn't particularly relevant
anymore. Bush's actions since 9-11 have consolidated and brought
together terrorist movements all over the world whose one unifying
principle is hatred for the United States.

How would have Gored handled this situation?

terrorists have transcended the impact of any single terrorist leader,
or even single terrorist organization. We are not in an era like World
War II, where the capture or assassination or suicide of someone like
Mussolini or Hitler basically ends the involvement of a nation or a
group of combatants.

If this is the case, does it matter now who is President? Their single
minded hatred of the US
would not change if Kerry was elected or Bush Re-elected. The only change
would be
that Bush would fight the battle and Kerry would turn command of our troops
over to the United Nations and let them call the shoots.
