    Do you think that Mr. Gore might of handled the whole situation a little differently? A little at the start might well have been enough to make a vast difference in the end result. (hmmm... reminds me of chaos equations... )
    okay, so I guess your answer to my question is, Yes, gore would have done things differently. What i'm interested to hear about is how exactly he would have acted differently.

    George Bush will be remembered by me for what he did not do on Sept 12, 2001. Often times we forget acts of retraint, but that wouldn't fit your "Cowboy" caricature, would it?

    That was the beginning, and it was handled perfectly. Trust me, Americas' inaction after the WTC attacks was an amazing act of self control as the popular consensus was to "Launch the nucs and let God sort out the rest".

    Aren't we in the trust tree, thingey?

    Yes, an intriguing question, I posted several months ago.

    Honestly, I don&#39;t think much different.

    I wonder what Jesus would have done?

    nor do I, i think there are a lot of systemic pressures that are too great for the individual to overcome. The discussion of this topic would require enormous amounts of nuance to avoid it descending into a jerk-fest for whoever you&#39;re rooting for...it seems to me...

    Put a big cross on the front lawns of the pentagon, i imagine.

    I doubt it, somehow


    I was less than impressed with GW on 9/11 and afterwards, he came across as a total coward and thicko.

    I was VERY impressed with a certain City&#39;s mayor, however.....

    I&#39;m sure crosses were among Jesus&#39; top ten favourite things

    Actually one of the reasons we had for going to war, was based on intelligence supplied to me by the UK, and we believed it. If we were wrong going to war then it was the UK´s fault all the time.
    I&#39;m speechless.

    What sort of leader when under pressure says that,

    If this is the way to treat your staunchest Ally, then I am confused on what the word loyalty means.

    I&#39;m sorry to have to say this but your president is anything but a Statesman. Frankly he has no class.
    buddy bush isnt that bad god

    Damned if you do, damned if you don&#39;t, the world has spoken.

    Guilliani and Bush. The comparison is so unfair as to be absurd.

    Guillani did a fine job in his tiny ring. Bush, a fresh little President , had to make decisions that would effect the world and the future, not few city blocks in NYC.

    Guilliani acted as an antibiotic, preventing infection of our wounds and smoothing the path toward healing. The wound would have healed whether he was there or not anyway, so he is of little consequence today.

    Any rash act by Bush and his people would have irrevocably altered history, and I think for the worse. I tend to notice that when I act out of emotion, I often feel regret when I have time to consider the dominoes I have set in motion.

    Ratfaced, what should he have done? And why is he a coward? What was he afraid of, after all, this is the same man who ordered his country to war against the will of the world.

    I already can smell the reply, "what could be worse than now?" from the Hypoluxas of the forum. Whatever, you know as well as I it could be much worse.
