Question

Which was not an issue during the 2004 U.S. presidential election?

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Resuming the Cold War with Russia.

Indeed, in 2004, Russian was hardly a concern for America and the West. The Iraq war was raging, Bin Laden was on the run and taunted Bush with a video that was aired on Al Jazeera, Islamic terrorism was rampant and Russia was very busy with its Second Chechen War.

Answer 2

The issue which was definitely not discussed during 2004 elections was C. Resuming the Cold War with Russia - Russia and Soviet Union have had amicable relationship since 1990s, and noone would want to risk a war with Russia, since both countries are powerful and such a war would be very devastating.
