Plans for a No 9-11 Timeline

I'm planning to write a timeline where the September 11th attacks are avoided. The PoD I'm planning on using is when Clinton attempted to kill Osama in 1998 with missile strikes that had to cross Pakistan. The other plan I had for this timeline is that Bush still wins in 2000. But without 9-11 can Bush win re-election in 2004? Most tend to think that he couldn't, I'm not 100% sure.

Anycase, anything that you might like to see covered ITTL, go right ahead and tell me. If you have a title suggestion, I'm open to it. Also, I know the prospects of a no 9-11 timeline have been discussed before, and I tried to find them with the search function, as we all know has a bad habbit of sucking. So if anyone could link me to threads that discuss this topic, or even possibly a timeline with it, that would be great.

The state of the Ameriright, attitudes towards Eu, France, Pakistan and the UK, states of paranoia.

Title:
Screw your border, missiles away!
Or;
Your border just got revoked.

Good luck!
 
How about Clinton is able to kill Benlauden. Bush considers invading Afghanistan after hearing reports of how the people there are treated by the Talibon. When Curveball gives the CIA his fake info on Iraq, Bush's team looks into it carefully, and upon discovering it's fake, don't invade, but support protest movements against Saddam in Iraq, and call for him to step down.
 
Bush probably tries to some shit in Iraq regardless of 9/11. Without 9/11 this probably doesn't go so well and he loses to Gore in '04 I'm betting.

Also, Bush tried to start a Cool War with China before 9/11. He wanted his Presidency to be defining, and he used the War on Terror to do that. No 9/11 means he probably antagonizes China.
 
Maybe for your first update, you should make the title something that isn't obvious. For example, you could have the title be "It Never Happened: A TL."

Then you could make your first update something like this:

"September 11, 2001.

Early in the morning, rumors begin to circulate that Michael Jordan will return to the NBA. These rumors are later confirmed.

Jay-Z's new album The Blueprint is released to great commercial and critical success.

In New York City, the mayoral primaries are held. Mark Green wins the democratic nomination, and Michael Bloomberg wins the republican nomination.

Aside from these events, September 11 was, for the most part, an unremarkable day.

New York City at night, 9/11/01."

That kind of opening would hook the reader. Just an idea. :)
 
Cultural changes. Would the Dixie Chicks be still popular? Would 24 get off the ground? Would they remake "The Manchurian Candidate"? What would B.D. and Uncle Duke be up to in "Doonesbury"?
