What if intelligence had been properly shared and Osama bin Laden stopped dead in his tracks?

/snip/

"Because of 9/11, we got Homeland Security and the loss of civil liberties, the ill-conceived war in Iraq, the resulting devastation of the U.S. dollar on world markets, three-dollar-a-gallon gasoline, ineffectual airport security measures and the curtailing of stem-cell research that ultimately might have otherwise saved millions of lives.

"The White House is in denial about global warming and ... creationists are getting more and more powerful. All of that is possible because 9/11 let Bush — an apocalyptist who honestly doesn't believe we have to worry about the long-term — be re-elected."

Just about covers it, no?
