What if 9/11 never happened? A counter history
Interesting article at the New York magazine pondering What if 9/11 Never Happened with contributions from Thomas L. Friedman, Bernard-Henri Levy, Fareed Zakaria, Al Sharpton, Andrew Sullivan and others from across the political spectrum. My sentiments would echo those of Zakaria on the subject:
But, to prick this fantasy, Afghanistan would still be run by the Taliban, and Al Qaeda would be happily ensconced there. Wahhabi clerics would still be fomenting hatred of the West. Saudi millionaires would still be funding madrassas and militants. And there would still be jihadis plotting a terrorist attack on the United States. History would have been delayed, not denied.

And Saddam Hussein would still be massacring Kurds and Iraq would still be struggling under sanctions.
I know that Iraq is suffering greatly but a choice was made - fascism or the invasion and I still think the invasion was the right choice.
