Algore's refusal to concede after so many defeats my become a security risk to the nation.
Because of his concerted efforts to throw out the ballots cast by members of the armed forces, he has alienated America's military. If his bid to steal the presidency is successful, we can count on a massive migration of talent out of the military. Our national strength would be far lower than it has been in recent history.
This could encourage more aggressive action by those who would otherwise fear an American response. Areas of concern include China/Taiwan and the growing tensions between Israel and Syria, with Syria's warming alliance with Iraq.
On the other hand, a Bush victory will likely strengthen the US resolve, and the US military. His choice of Cheney and supposed choice of Colin Powell could have deterrent value, even without his public platform for strengthening our military.
Algore should understand this and concede for the good of the country.
Its a very real concern.
