I agree with your sentiment because America desperately needs to defend its core democratic values from the political system that serves to undermine them but...
Do you actually believe that the President gets to make important decisions regarding things like foreign policy? Do you actually believe that Gore could have prevented the Iraq War? Presidents are not the primary policy makers. Case in point, Reagan's foreign policy was identical to Carter's. The Reagan Doctrine was simply a continuation of the Carter Doctrine because neither President was involved in these policies. Independent, private organizations and unelected individuals make the important decisions.

Gore wouldn't have gone to Iraq. The only reason we went into Iraq is because Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld had a hard on for Saddam. You are right though that most politicians are mere puppets on a string.
