What would our lives be like if Gore had won the elections in 2000

I watched the Hbo tv movie "recount"yesterday, a detailed presentation of the chronology of events that led to Bush's victory at the 2000 elections. I was then in France, thinking of these elections as a fraud, but the movie gave me a whole new perspective. I imagined how crazy it must have been at the time, it must have been unbearable to watch Fox or cnn... The unfairness is obvious, the legal proceedings ending, after hope given by the Folrida Supreme Court, by an unbelievable one time BS opinion by the Supreme court, recognizing the violation of the constitution but using technical obstacles the court had itself created to refrain from ordering a recount, which would have been the remedy for these violations.
So, yeah, Al Gore should have been the winner, what would have changed for us if life was fair and the american electoral system was not a joke?
-We can potentially assume that 9/11 would not have happened
-Thus no war would have started in Iraq, and lets fantasize even more, maybe Gore's interntaional skills would have been so awesome that he would have got rid of Saddam through hmm more peaceful means
- As a consequence, The Patriot act would not have been enacted and the anti french wave would not have launched
-The UN would have more legitimacy for it would not have been stepped on brutally on so many levels.
-We would all be driving Hybrids, and they would be super cheap (sorry for the extreme positiveness, I just came back from Disneyland)
-My visas would have been less expensive (still in the idea thta the Patriot Act would have never been enacted)
and so many more things...

But no... the recount was stopped, the palm beach county electoral ballots were never taken in consideration, and so many people did not have the right to vote for BS reasons.
And why wouldn't it happen again? I'm scared for November...
