September 11, 2001, another timeline: Instead of striking at the Pentagon, the hijacked American Airlines flight 77 crashes into the White House - where, thanks to a change in his schedule, President Bush is present, and dies in the attacks.

What effects will this on America? President Bush will of course be seen as a martyr, and his campaign-trail opposition to nation-building will almost certainly be cited in opposition to whatever President Cheney does in the Middle East. (Invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq in quick succession, I imagine.) What other positions will this change in the American national discourse?
