Not so sure.
I still remember the Parisiennes toting about signs reading (in English no less) "We are all Americans". I'm not so sure that Gore's group would have pissed away all that international goodwill with the same fervor as the current crop. Hell, it may well be that Osama would be in prison now if Gore had been at the helm. (Of course, there is always the seldom spoken argument that 9112001 occured precisely because of the epic incompetence of the current crop).
Still, asking a sitting President to resign over lying about a hummer is beyond the pale.

It would seem, therefore, that the three human impulses embodied in religion are fear, conceit, and hatred. The purpose of religion, one might say, is to give an air of respectibility to these passions. -- Bertrand Russell
