Considering Al Gore would have been President, I am satisfied.
Gore probably would have gotten us into war as well. They basically flipped a coin to see which party would be the opposition.
Many of Bush's problems at the time related to Karl Rove let being in DC go to his head, forgot that he got in on Bush's coattails, and lead the GOP in turning its back on the base. I think it was Rove who lead Bush to never defend himself from criticism that could have and should have been easily countered.
It's not GWB's fault that Obama, Holder and Robert Mueller turned the FBI and FISA courts into a private secret police. The FBI and FISA are more dangerous than DHS and the Patriot Act and existed long before 9/11. Few realized how malevolent Mueller really was until Russia Collusion took off 20 years later.
Since so many have forgotten, US won the Iraq War. It was Obama who nearly succeeded in turning a win into a loss by his failure to deal with the Iranian backed insurgents, Al Queda, the Taliban, and starting two more wars in Syria and Libya.
