If Gore were in office we'd probably have the world opinion and the UN behind us and we probably wouldn't need to go to war to solve the problem. I think the rest of the world doesn't like/respect Bush. They see the shady ways he won the election and don't respect him as a capable leader. Watch and listen to any of his eloquent speeches and you know why. And yes his public speaking ability does matter. And I'm sure nepotism has something to do with it as well. Who gives a sh!t about the recount, but when the majority of voters vote for someone who wasn't put in office it does make you say hmmmm. Especially when the electorate difference came out of a state where his fam runs sh!t. Yes the rest of the world has a very good reason to question why Bush is in office and whether he should be there.
And Saddam did not gas the Americans or our allies. Turkey and Iran were about just as bad to the Kurds as Iraq short of using chem weapons.
Saddam could've been isolated and controlled by the rest of the world without a war. Even possibly removed. I haven't heard or seen one shred of evidence, fake, made up, fabricated or whatever you want to call it showing that Iraq is of a remote threat to the US. However Bush cited several documents in one of his recent speeches, which allegedly proved Iraq was continuing to pursue a nuclear program, that were later shown to be forgeries. Why am I not surprised? Cause America turns into sheep at the sound and sight of propaganda.
