What if 9/11 had happened earlier, when Clinton was President? He would have done a great job emoting with the victims' families, but probably would have just dropped some bombs on Afghanistan. Whether Gore would have had a better chance at winning in 2000 would have depended on whether another attack took place before November 2000.

If 9/11 had never happened, and the US had never invaded Afghanistan or Iraq, Saddam Hussein would have continued his nuclear arms program and might have succeeded in dropping nukes on Israel by now.

Hmmm, forgot to take Iraq's nuclear program into account but I think we would still try to strong arm them. Assuming it does go on, we could be facing an India/Pakistan situation with Iran/Iraq.
