While we know if one paid attention to various threads about a world with no 9/11 (with say Bin Laden being dead or the plot being discovered prior to the date) is that a lot of the middle east related issues along with domestic ones would get butterflied away yet I feel it would have far reaching effects including more tensions with China around Asia and possibly the Middle East.

So I ask what other effects would the lack of 9/11 have on world politics? would Russia still be rivals with the USA over Europe and the former Soviet nations? would Pakistan still be at odds with India? and what of the other parts of the world?
