Suppose the preliminary events occur sometime in 2000, just as the preliminary events for the OTL Arab Spring occurred in 2010? How might the Spring occur without the presence of social media that was so prominent in the OTL Arab Spring? If there were different heads of government present at the time, how might means of protest change? Could this affect 9/11? What about the results of the 2000 election, assuming the preliminary events occurred early enough in 2000.
