If Only. . .

Watching last night's Academy Awards, it was hard not to imagine how different life would have been if the 2000 election hadn't been stolen from Al Gore. We'd be on a much better path domestically, and despite the 9/11 attacks, we'd be fighting and likely winning a war focused on those that attacked us. Whether he would have had to contend with Rethuglican Congresses during his term is open to speculation. But had he the opportunity, Al Gore would have made this a better country, and the world a safer place by now.
