   @thomasfuchs Not many people get the importance of Rabin's assassination. Peace was actually working, and that was intolerable.

     If Al Gore became President, Joe Lieberman would have been the VP.
     Absolutely no good would have come from that.

     @serge @thomasfuchs
     The death of Prime Minister Rabin changed the path of Israel/Palestine. As for Mr. Gore on the other hand, I think his foreign policy would have made decisions similar to those of President Bush. See https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/why-al-gore-would-have-invaded-iraq-and-what-it-tells-us-about-syria/article14105322/ for some specifics.

     A President Gore would have made #ClimateChange a much higher priority, but I don't know if he would have gotten any relevant legal changes through Congress in 2000 to 2008.
