The World Trade Center bombing in 1993, the African embassy bombings in 98, and the bombing of the Cole in 2000 collectively gave the USA sufficient causus belli for Bill Clinton to seriously consider ordering the invasion of Afghanistan. At the same time, Clinton had try several times to kill Bin Laden, and stop Taliban and Al-Qaeda terrorist plots.
So say between 1999 and 2000 (Like maybe a Cole style attack happen earlier on a US Navy Ship, and bin Laden was responsible for the bombing was known.) had pick to go for it, and the United States order a full on invasion of Afghanistan to overthrow Al-Qaeda, and the Taliban.
What happens now? Would it be more, or less successful? Affects on the 2000 election? World reactions for the US going into Afghanistan?
