What if Saddam Hussein waits until Bill Clinton is US President before he invades Kuwait? Would this have made any difference in the US response to this invasion? I know that most Democrats in the US Congress were against the Gulf War which drove Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait and instead preferred to try pressuring Saddam Hussein through sanctions. Would Clinton follow their approach, or would he have embraced the likely more hawkish position of his Vice President (and former US Senator), Al Gore? (In real life, Al Gore was one of something like ten US Senate Democrats who supported the Gulf War.)
