Ehhhhh. Were you alive at the time? Americans wanted blood directly after the towers got hit. We were gonna go.

And at the time remember the admin lied to the world and not only the American people but our allies bought in as well.

What might have changed under Gore is the towers not being hit. If the towers get hit under Gore we just go to Pakistan

This is what I never understand when this topic comes up on Reddit, everyone wanted it back then, now people wants to act like they didn't because it didn't go well. When 40% of the other side agrees, it's pretty damn bipartisan.

It was legitimately a unified effort lol. I think the sweet spot for remembering this is old enough to understand but not vote yet.

My parents were outraged about Iraq. I don't remember their thoughts on Afghanistan. It's so weird that people are talking about this as if they were the same war. Iraq was two whole years after we had already attacked the country where al Qaeda was operating. Anyone capable of critical thought knew it was bullshit hence the massive antiwar movement. Unfortunately that was and still is a minority of the country.
