luzribeiroOK, here's the most obvious alternate history scenario one could possibly come up with.
So here's the set of events (or more like, lack thereof). Sometime in the late 90s, Osama bin Laden dies of some stupid infection, or cancer, or something like that. Let's say extensive fapping to porn videos inside his bunker. Al Qaeda never carries out the 9-11 plot, and people in New York go about their business as usual on 9-11-2001, their biggest concern being that the tickets for Michael Jackson's 30th career anniversary gig have been sold out. Bush Jr never attacks the Taliban, so they continue to rule in Afghanistan, where the Afghan Northern Alliance resumes its feud with them (after blaming the assassination of its leader Ahmed Shah Massoud on them, an event which indeed happened on September 9).
So what happens next?...
