Are you simply going to call out the butterflies and have these people in place from day one of the Bush Administration or will you make these personnel changes during the run up to the war? WI VP Cheney were at the Pentagon or the WTC on the morning of 9/11? This might set events in motion that could result in the changes you'd like to make.

Call out the butterflies?

Well, Cheney was too controlling, and Rummy fought too much with Powell

I decided to use quotation marks because it would not exactly be the third World War.

We all know about how after 9/11 President Bush called for Americans to. . . basically spemd their money to to boost the economy, and really called for little to no sacrifice on the American people, by comparison to WWII. Suppose that a WWII-ish call of duty was placed on the American people, where there was a massive push of self-sacrifice, military recruitment, etc. but, as we have passed the Civil Rights' Movements of the '60s, no internment of Muslim-Americans. What would happen?

And just to know, do you think that I should make a TL about this?

Today, there's no sense of sacrifice, and that said, people today, compared with people in World War II, have a sense of entitlement. Their cry would be as follows: "DON'T TAKE MY CAR AWAY FROM ME! BIN LADIN'S COMING OVER THE NEXT RIDGE!" :D
 
So what we've got is the Pakistanis falling to the Islamists, which, since it happened so early in the game, will cause. . . a lets just say a worse 9/11.


That's what I'm working on right now at least. . .
 
What could actually cause America to need to draft an Army? Are we going to fight and occupy Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran and Syria?
 
My favorite picture showing the difference since WW2

A French Traffic Cop is in his Box on the Corner, One street is full of German Tanks, and the Cross street is full of German Infantry.
The French Cop is directing traffic thru the Intersection, and the German Troops are Obeying Him.

I have always wondered where the Iraqi Police were while the Iraqis were looting everything they get there hands on.

If whe had enuff troops to stop the Looting, The Rebuilding would be done by now.
[?What happened to the old -Looters will be shot?]

Back in 1982, NBC had a two-part television movie called World War III. It was
about a Soviet invasion of Alaska.
