What would be the consequences be if Ahmad Shah Massoud survived the assassination which killed him on September 9th 2001?
Let's say the assassins can't get at him or if they do detonate their bomb he is only lightly wounded. Is Massoud the one who unifies Afghan efforts to topple the Taliban with American assistance? Am I right in assuming that even if the attempt on his life fails, the 9-11 attacks still take place two days later? Surely they can't have been dependent on his death as they were half the world away, yes?
