"Appeasement" is a big lie. "Appeasement" of what and who?
Terrorists? I think not. Gore-Lieberman would have been a hawkish administration versus terrorism. Lieberman alone is the biggest hawk in the Dem party and would have wanted to be very tough on Saddam and terrorists alike.
Gore has always been known as a moderate hawk.

"Appeasement" of Saddam is a ridiculous notion because he was sitting there not threatening anyone. Therefore it's a lie to even talk about appeasing someone who's merely a pest and potential threat rather than a real threat.

By your logic, Bush could be said to be appeasing Saudi Arabia, North Korea and Al Qaida by pulling out of Afghanistan, not circling NK with troops and kissing Saudi butt. Attacking countries around the world just because you want to is not an admirable trait, in fact it's disasterous, as we've found out. Removing Saddam may end up costing us a trillion bucks. A huge-huge waste of money.
