As stated above, supposing Osama meets his end at Tora Bora in December, what are the consequences for the War on Terror and the 2000s as a whole?
Does Iraq still happen? Presumably Bush would cruise to re-election in 2004, but what would happen to al-Qaeda without bin Laden's influence?
Furthermore, how would popular culture be affected by the lack of a real-life villain such as Osama? Does 24 and other shows of its ilk still become as popular as they did OTL?
Thanks in advance.
