Steve McQueen kills Manson in a confrontation prior to the Tate murders
I like this scenario but if the Tate murders don't happen, does Polanski still go on to commit his crimes?

He allegedly had the support. Goebbels approved but Ribbentop apperently shot him down.

i want to say he might have a better change if he was President in 1960 but that depends on what he does in the 2 years before the 1960 election. also lets add, Gore was President in 2000 (if Clinton resigned in 1998). would Gore have won in 2000.If Eisenhower dies from a heart attack in 1958, would Richard Nixon be able to beat JFK in the 1960 election?
HE? Probably not. it might start some smoldering, but that would be about it.Technical Question: Would a number of high explosive artillery shells be able to set a large mound of coal on fire? Or would the explosions just throw coal everywhere?
What if Al Capone tried to expand to New York ?

Okay
Please forgive me if this is tasteless or offending...
WI the F-16s that were already airborne during 9/11 had been armed before they took off?
Someone would have to actually decide to shootdown airlines full of people...
i think there was a F-14 or two inbound to DC area (from NAS Oceana) with orders to shoot flight 93 down if they needed too (from what i heard)Yeah.
I think Cheney gave authorization for that action, but I'm not a hundred percent sure.
Damn, this thread’s been around for three months, and I haven’t noticed until now? ...Alright, cool. I’ll play.
How about ‘Libertarian-Leaning Ronald Reagan’? I’d assume he’d still have to run as a Republican so that the bulk of the country takes him seriously in his bid for the Oval Office. However, he’d still espouse libertarian values and govern in that same manner, though there is the question of whether he can get his still-socially conservative party to do basically a one-eighty on that front.
And if this happens, how might the Democrats shift in response to a now-socially liberal Republican Party?
Possibly hard left economically?
McP.
How hard-left are we talking about? And would they shift their stances on social issues in the face of a more permissive GOP, perhaps to appeal to those social conservatives who don't like the direction that Reagan is taking their party in?
Hard left on social issues as more in line with 1950s style European socialists with a state run economy and dictated social policy. Sort of like Woodrow Wilson run amok, with all that government control that it implies.
I...dunno that such positions would fly in ‘80s America, being more caught up than most in the Cold War with the “dirty Reds” and all. If anything, I fear that such a hard-left platform would probably be a gift to alt-Reagan and the GOP, come 1984.
Colonel Redl dies in accident in 1901. What would WWI look like, if it still happened?
