I want Ahmed Shah Massoud to somehow survive and with covert American assistance, destroy the Taliban and their allies in Al-Qaeda, bringing Afghanistan into a pro-American orbit with minimal cost to the taxpayer. Maybe even re-introduce the monarchy as a stabilizing influence.
 
16: Big League Winning
Big League Winning

As August turned to September, so did the Trump Administration eyes turn to the issue of campaign finance reform. A perennial issue, many Presidents had promised but never delievered on crucial reform to electoral system. Trump hoped he could be different, he had to be - his legacy was on the line. If he was to deliver big league change and ensure that his victory will not be a mere fluke, electoral reform was crucial.

The Trump Administration’s plan to reform campaign finance was two-fold. End the influence of big money and lobbyist groups over American politics and to grant third parties and independents their fair share. By killing two birds with one stone, Trump could ensure future success for his Reform party and perhaps lay the groundwork for future constitutional change to the American electoral system.

Trump’s summer rallies had drummed up public support on this issue, but as fall approached the time had come for the President to roll up his sleeves and get to work pushing his reforms through Congress. It would be a hard fight, but it was necessary for the future of the American people and the American dream. Campaign finance reform would be the focus of the month for the Trump Administration, or so they thought...

Across the globe, a storm was brewing. One that was rapidly approaching the heart of America...

One Week In September
One Week In September...

We were on the precipice of a major turning point in American history, in world history. A paradigm shift. The summer of 2001 had seemed quiet and idyllic, but I could never shake the feeling that dark storm clouds were gathering over our dear nation.

People had dismissed the reports, nobody believed it was possible. But believe me, I knew from my life that nothing was impossible, only inconcievable. I was never going to be a president that ignored threats or kicked problems down the road. I had seen too many Americans die needlessly in terror attacks, crime and war. I wasn’t going to let anyone take advantage of America any longer. I knew the only too real possibility of a terrorist attack in the near future, and it was my duty to protect America.
So I got my generals, my people all in one room and I said “let’s stop wasting time.” I said, “we need to take action, and we need to take it fast”.



In the end, it was one week in September that would decide the course of the 21st century. Our nation was at the crossroads. The fate of America and the world was in our hands...

Somewhere in the rugged, mysterious mountains of northern Afghanistan, a freedom fighter recieved an enigmatic message. One that warned him against not only a threat to his life but also of a plot to strike at the heart of the most powerful nation on Earth.

The clock was ticking. The great game was afoot again in the wildlands of central Asia...

As a new day dawned, the final grains of sand slipped from the hour glass. Time was running out. Only God could know whether those brave few men and women had done enough. The future of America now balanced precariously on a fragile knife edge. America’s destiny was up for grabs, its fate waiting to be written...

“We are recieving reports that law enforcement has thwarted an attempted hijacking of several airliners across the eastern seaboard. We now go to our White House Correspondent for more information on this incident...”

“Thanks Peter. The White House will reportedly make a statement at noon today on the arrests made. At the present moment the White House has made no comments on the potential motives of such a plot, but we do know that they intend to launch a full investigation.”

“Well that was a close call! Thankfully nobody was hurt!”

“Yes Peter, it is truly a testament to the strength of our airport security and the dedication of our law enforcement and intelligence agencies that the hijackings failed and nobody was taken hostage aboard those planes.”

 
Morning In America

It was another regular day in America, another beautiful September morning and another starlit night from sea to shining sea. Americans went to work, children went to school. People laughed, people cried, people fell in love. 3,000 men and women went home to their families. The twin towers stood as strong and resilient over the Manhattan skyline as they had ever been, as much a symbol of America’s continuing freedom and prosperity as Lady Liberty herself. A poignant symbol tying America’s past to America’s future in a new millenium. September the 11th, 2001 was just another normal day.

As people continued unwavering in their optimism for the new century and the new American dream, nobody truly knew how close the world had come to changing forever. Perhaps in another world, another life far far away, things were different. Perhaps in another alternate timeline, things were no so quiet, peaceful and prosperous at the turning of the centuries. Perhaps but for one subtle change, the threads of fate would have twisted a different way...

But not this time. The towers still stood, destiny had chose a different path. America and the world marched forward into the new frontier of the 21st century, not with fear but with hope.

Things would be alright, a new future was waiting to be written...
