If you could change just one presidential election..?

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

2000, Al Gore would've handled 9/11 carefully and wisely, unlike the cowboy approach GWB took.  The sympathy felt towards us, combined with the "sensitive" policies of Gore would have lifted our image throughout the world.  Al Queda would not be recruiting people.  The Iraq War never happens.  Our focus would be on terrorists in the already captured Afgahnistan, and Osama is caught within 2 years of 9/11.  Gore goes on to be remembered as one of the greatest presidents in history.  Kerry succeeds him, and decades of democratic rule over all 3 branches of the gov't ensues.  In that time, gays gain the right to marry, minimum wage is raised, and the world is at one of it's most peaceful times as all civilized nations originally sympathetic to America after 9/11 cooperate in a global anti-terrorism policy due to the enhanced friendship between America and other nations.
