What does it matter if Gore won the popular vote? Electoral votes are what this country is founded on and for good reason, it gives all states a chance to be heard, thus the United States. And just because he recieved the popular vote doesnt mean he couldve handled 9/11 better. I guarantee we would not have went into Afghanistan if he was in office, and Al Quada would still have it under its grasps. Theres a reason why the media never says anything about Afghanistan, because it is a better place now and who wants to hear the good news right?

You're joking about Afghanistan, right? The *official* government of Afghanistan's power barely extends out of the capital city. Warlords (including Taliban and al-Qaida) control various slivers of the country and Afghanistan still produces about 90 percent of the heroin in the world and the threat of violence is so great that Norway had to evacuate its embassy yesterday.

Afghanistan is STILL the poorest country in Asia and has the third-highest rate of infant mortality in the world.

You, sir, are dangerously misinformed.

I wouldn't say "still" I'm pertty sure under taliban rule they produced much much less opium.
