I'm not familiar enough with Gore to know how he'd handle the war on terror. I don't believe Iraq would occur, or anything like it. Afghanistan would be more likely. Though, for all I know, he could have avoided the traditional warfare route and gone with intelligence actions, quick strikes, and assassination of terrorists like we've returned to under Obama. There might be calls from the GOP of him being a whimp for doing so, however. Though Gore could use the post 9/11 patriotism to say such criticisms were Unamerican. I wouldn't put it past the NeoCons to manage to pull it off, though.
