Would Gore have invaded Iraq?

Of course he wouldn't have.  One thing I think could have happened is that Gore might have gone after Pakistan.  The Afghan-Pakistan border is a hotbed of terrorist hideouts and I don't see how one could effectively quash terrorism in Afghanistan without controlling this area fully.

Gore wouldn't have invaded Iraq post-9/11, and he'd have probably lost seats in the midterm because of it.

Why??  No one even cared about Iraq until the Bush administration began talking about it.  It doesn't make any sense for Gore to loose seats.  He'd probably gain a few seats by invading Afghanistan, just like Bush did.  Without Bush Iraq becomes virtually a non-issue.
