Now what if, on the evening of September 10th, 2001 President Bush sees an image of Jesus Christ telling him to "turn the other cheek". Of course George was rather unsure what this meant when he went over to Florida to read to school children.
When he is told about the attacks, George "understands" that this dream was about, what he was "supposed to do". On his address to the nation in a joint session of Congress on September 20th, 2001 George Bush announces that he "officially [forgives] al-Qaeda and its leader - Osama bin-Laden - for the transgressions on September the eleventh".
This begins the "turn the other cheek" foreign policy.
What now?

Of course this is pretty ASB, I'll admit that but I would like to see what would happen.
