Hilarious. I love all the "we'd promote peace" answers...do people not understand how much we've talked, and talked, and talked about terrorism? Does anybody know about the numerous UN resolutions regarding the disarming of terrorist organizations? Ugh. If Dems were in control, they'd wait until half of the US was crippled before deciding to do anything...and knowing them, they'd decide to talk some more because we don't want the Middle East to think we're bullies (or even better, that we might be infringing on the terrorist's beliefs to kill infidels).

They would not say there is a war on terror - it's a miscommunication . Let's keep talking.
If that doesnt work blame the republicans in the Senate because they are pushing for retaliation and not letting the Democratic part of Senate come up with a sensible capitulation bill.

If the Democrats were in power there would be more talk about cooperation with other countries, and multi-national agreements. This would pump money into the United Nations and put them in charge of our military. The terrorists would see this as a weakness and respond by increasing (not decreasing) their attacks. The Democrats would set up direct talks with their representatives who would make certain demands. The Democrats would cave in to the terrorists demands and then blame it all on President Bush.

The democrats would be able to speak from a position of superiority as representatives of secularism and tell the religious nuts of all persuasions, Jews, Muslims and Christians, that they will not stand for a world that is a backwards medieval theocracy. Our laws will be built around a scientifically derived consensus of the facts regarding how best things do actually work, not some ancient books derived from superstition, conjecture, myths and wishful thinking.

Be sure that we have the support of the world before we do anything.
After 9/11 just about every country out there supported invading Afghanistan, but we got much less support for Iraq. If the world doesn't agree with our plan of action that means two things:
1. We won't be supported as much in it (duh)
2. Maybe it isn't so good of a plan after all.
A "War on Terrorisim" shouldn't be fought with both guns blazing, its a far more subtle, political/social matter.

The good ones would do their best to support american interests and promote peace. The bad ones would be powermongerers and award contracts to different special interests than the republicans.
They're all just people, just like the other parties.

clinton and gore had many good anti-terror programs which bush dismantled when he came into office. also, the republican congress would not pass the clinton/gore plan on airport safety, which would have stopped Atta at the gate. also, the republican congress would not pass clinton's plan to go after bin laden financing.
further, no democratic family was having breakfast with bin ladens on 9/11, and so probably would have questioned the family members better.
lastly, the dems would not have allowed the attacks to happen. bush allowed it to further his plans to bring the USA fascism. one would not have a war on terror, which is a tactic, not an enemy. As eric alterman said, a war on terror is as stupid as if FDR had said on 12/8/1941 that we were going to launch a war on surprise air attacks.
further, sadly, america has been raining terror down on iraq and our number one ally (another spy for them arrested today - US serviceman!) has been raining down terror on Gaza and Lebanon, so talking in this language is meaningless and cynical.

Nothing. Its all just talk up until elections time. Democrats. Republicans are all in the same party. The "Political" party. Anything else is just propaganda.

Who knows? But i would HOPE that they would actually make good on security promises (the present government has not), and would do so without raping the constitution.

They would be gathering up dozens of lawyers to sue the terrorists. The ones they couldn't arrest, they would negotiate with them.
