"We would not have invaded a country that didn't attack us," he said, referring to Iraq. "We would not have taken money from the working families and given it to the most wealthy families."

(AP) Former US Vice President Al Gore speaks at an economic forum in Stockholm, Sweden, "We would not be trying to control and intimidate the news media. We would not be routinely torturing people," Gore said. "We would be a different country."

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.

"Of course a woman could get elected president," he said. "I am not going to make any comment on individual candidates. It's quite premature."

Not that this should have been open game, but it shows his thinking was very partisan in nature. When overseas, you are not representing a party, you are representing the country.
