I can't look at Al Gore without thinking how tragic it is that he is not President of the United States. He's still superbly qualified for the job, he knows it. He also knows everything he would have done differently than the idiot currently holding the position; every choice, every decision. If Al Gore had become a bitter man over the past six years, witnessing the destruction, death & degradation brought about by the Bush/Cheney Junta that stole the election from him, no one would have blamed him. But he didn't become disillusioned. Perhaps in some alternate universe we have secured Afghanistan & hunted down Osama; we are not at war in Iraq; New Orleans is rebuilding for all its people; the United States is leading the world in environmental sanity.
