I like Gore, but I don't think it was prudent for him to make these statements when out of the country. Do it here, but don't do it overseas. Come to MTSU and do it. Its too easy for foreign media to twist around. You don't have to blow sunshine up the presidents ass, but don't act like you are campaigning for your political party when out of the country. Its just unwise.

This is an idea I am going to completely disagree with. Not only should Al Gore denounce what we are doing when he's here, doing so overseas as well is something that is incumbent upon him to do so. Right now, foreign opinion of the United States may be at its lowest levels ever, and it is entirely because of the actions of W. Speaking his mind overseas is the best way to tell the rest of the world that not all of us here are like the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

I don't know that I would call doing what he has done cmpaigning for his party (although it also supports that end) so much as speaking out against the current administrations policies which he disagrees with.

Here's another reason I agree with his actions.
