The entire world would be different, for sure. 9-11 led to Cheney / Rumsfeld Iraq war WMD fantasy, and the ensuing debacle in Iraq; in turn, this indirectly caused the Arab spring in 2011, and then the entire Syria debacle, ISIS screwing Al Quaeda, the later Madrid and London bombings, Paris manslaughter in 2015...
While the war in Afghanistan was justified since Bin Laden was there (and the talebans were butt crazy criminals) the Iraq war was justified on lies (WMD) and toppling Saddam, even if he was a criminal asshole, led to chaos in the country. Toppling Saddam was a good thing even for the wrong reasons BUT it was the aftermath that was a disaster. Don't forget ISIS was born out of Iraq weakness and chaos, in 2014. as much as Saddam was a criminal asshole (no question about that) at least he would have crushed ISIS like a rotten piece of shit.
