re: I remember George Stephanopolous said shortly after 9/11 that America ought to treat the terrorist act as a criminal act, not as an act of war. Given his ties to the former Clinton administration, I think his statement is an accurate reflection of what Gore's anti-terrorist policy would have been.

Hence it's doubtful that Gore would have used the full might of the American military to invade Afghanistan.

ANY US president would have reacted to 9/11 by going after bin Laden. Few would have been diverted by an alternate agenda. Bush USED 9/11, that's the worst sin.

re: He might have under pressure from the American public, but any President can take action based on that.

Instead of his born again religious delusions? Welcome to Democracy... not theocracy.
