a college professor I had (and my only polisci/IR professor who would regularly criticize US foreign policy, although still very much a lib) said that after 9/11 the invasion of Afghanistan was set in stone, although Iraq it is much more debatable whether Gore would've invaded there. Nonetheless there'd still be a whole lot of neocon ghouls pushing for it, and we probably would've found ourselves there at some point after 2003.
