OK, let's see:

For whatever reason (maybe after rereading Kaplan's _Balkan Ghosts_), Clinton decides not to respond militarily to the Kosovo situation.

Bush wins the 2000 election.

On 9-11-01, terrorists strike the WTC.

5 hours later, Rumsfeld scrawls in his notebook, "best info fast. Judge whether good enough hit S.H. at same time. Not only UBL."

A year and a half later, Rummy gets his wish.

Anything fanciful in the least about this alternate history?
