AHC: 9/11 Never Happened.

Yeah too bad its stupid and broken half the time...

Besides I've always wanted to answer one of these because I wrote a report on it for my Civics class!

Bush wouldn't of won reelection, because there'd be no basis for the war and Iraq probably would not of happened. In 2004 John Edwards would of beaten Bush (Kerry's campaign was based on foreign policy but no wars means 2004's not based on FP). The Bush tax cuts probably get repealed but the economy may still experience a recession and the housing bubble will still burst. A sluggish economy leads to Edwards being beaten in 2008 by... COLIN POWELL! And thats the AH I wrote for my 9-11 report in a nutshell.

We have no idea whether Bush would have even run for reelection let alone lose it. No 9/11 changes virtually EVERYTHING of the first Bush term and it could have went either better or worse for him.

Bush definately would of run for reelection, Its not the 1820's.

LBJ didn't run for reelection. Even if he did run his opponent most likely wouldn't be Edwards or Kerry. Things would have changed too much. Bush would have had an entirely different presidency. It was the biggest event in his term and it came very early.
 
Bush runs for reelection. There is no reason for him not to. It is an election fought on domestic issues, so Bush probably loses. There is no political cover for an invasion of Iraq. So Sadaam is still in power. He is facing new sanctions for his brutal suppression of Arab spring protesters. Kurdistan may have declared independence. Which complicates the political situation in Turkey, Syria and Iran.
