Cant resist puttin in a comment for this one.
I would imagine that it wouldnt be too awkward - lets face it, both men are politicians, and both men know there has to be one winner - to have sour grapes, especially after such a long time, would be a sure sign that the better man for the job won. I say this because any politician who can hold a grudge like that over such a period is imo someone you dont want in power.
As to the post 9/11 part, any leader who didnt go to Afghanistan would've been run out of power in no time. As for Iraq, honestly i think we wouldnt be in there yet. But i do think we'd be into Iraq. An interesting hypothetical which was posed to me was this: If we hadnt have invaded Iraq, would we already have at least attacked Iran? And if so, would that have carried on into an attack against Iraq, if not an invasion?
