In all seriousness, if I ever had access to a time machine, I would want to see what the world looks like now in the timeline that Al Gore became president. I fully suspect that September 11 is one of those events that, in Doctor Who parlance, is a static point in all timelines, so I want to see how Gore would have responded, and what ramifications that would have had over the next 20 years.

Gore might have invaded Afghanistan, or at least start military operations. I highly doubt he would have invaded Iraq.

Also, just reminding everyone that he won the election. Republicans stole Florida, and the Supreme Court approved of it.

just created an account on HN so I could reply to this comment: why the heck did you have to remind me of that! 20 something years removed I had forgotten that little detail and was so happy in my ignorant bliss!
