Ok, as we all know, The United States and Allies are at war with Terrorism. However it obvious that the only form of terrorism being targeted is Islamic Jihadist Terrorism (IE: Al-Queda, Taliban, Hezbolah etc.). Here is my WI.
How is it possible for the United States to take a (military) stance against ALL forms of terrorism. Both abroad and domestic. This includes Christian Terrorism (Abortion Bombers), Communist Terrorism , Eco Terrorism, ext.
You'd have to have a different pres elected in 2000, one that doesn't single out Arab nationalist terrorism. (And that's what Al Qaeda is far more than Jihadist. Islam provides a means for organizing around, but the main motivations are political, not religious.)
Neither Gore nor Bush would have the kind of focus you're looking for. I don't see any reason Gore would go after any form of terrorism other than the one directly responsible for 9-11.
Also some of the forms you fear are not as dangerous on the same level. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but last I checked the only fatalities eco "terrorists" (really, more like glorified vandals) had caused were to themselves, when two idiots blew themselves up with a bomb they were carrying. OK, some of the animals they "set free" die because they're domesticated and unable to live in the wild, but no humans. Perhaps if you count the Unabomber, but few people could really make head or tail of what he was supposedly trying to accomplish.
And outside of fading rebel groups in Colombia, Peru or India, I can't think of any Communist terrorists of concern.
Like others point out, how counterproductive would it be to go after the communties of abortion doctor killers, etc? We want police to catch the one(s) who did it, not punish every member of their church.
