        If only Gore had won...
        \_ He did.
        \_ Wow.  You're saying that 9/11 wouldn't have happened had Gore won?
           You *are* an idiot.
           \_ You can't know that.  Neither can he.  But Gore might not've
              taken the threat of terrorism so lightly, nor might his
              underlings.
              \_ The 9/11 Report makes it pretty clear that terrorism was
                 not as high a policy priority for the new Bush Administration
                 as it was for the outgoing Clinton Administration.  How much
                 of that can be chalked up to the growing pains of a new
                 administration is very tough to say. [sigh, restored]
              \_ I'm objecting to the positive assertion.  I agree that I
                 couldn't know that.  However there's nothing I've seen which
                 would have suggested Gore's being elected would have changed
                 the outcome.
