So maybe Al Gore would have made the timeline different.
...you don't say?
Yes, but only because of the gorilla. No other significant difference in policy.
Which policy though?
He did support invading Iraq, he certainly would have invaded Afghanistan. He would have been coup'd by his own party if he actually threatened the fossil fuel industry.
He opposed the war in Iraq
Gore supported the first war in Iraq, and bombing Yugoslavia. Why do you think he would have been any different RE gorillas or imperialism?
Gorilla policy
“no other significant policy” ≈ would do all the same things, except Gorilla.
shhh, be quieter when you talk to the gorilla. they're sensitive creatures
