Of course we could (and should) say the same about debating the actions
taken against Afghanistan -it's done and this debate will be endless.

But I will just say I do have a problem when people try to paint
black-and-white that it was a clear-cut election and implies that whichever
person occupies the White House now is illegitimate (I say whichever because
I have no doubt at all that if Gore won he would be treated to the same
objections).

Interestingly, side note, I was in Europe when Bush visited there several
months ago and it was interesting to hear the news coverage.  It was
respectful and divided as to how he did.  It seems he scored some points in
the UK and overall my perception (2 very qualifying words there of course)
was that the trip went better overall in Europe's perception than it was
portrayed in America though of course there were bumps and there were also
many Europeans very negative about the trip.
