can you think of an administration without 9/11?
Every good and bad word said about the current administration can be linked to that fateful day. One wonders how the last 4 years would have gone if the other issues had taken prescience, and there was no fortifying moment with so many subconsequences.
It is tantamount to WWII, more than just pearl harbor, but the entire thing compressed into an infinitely dense singularity of cause and effect, both at home and on the world stage. think of the duality. The results of WWII vs the results of 9/11. the similarities both positive, negative...verse and inverse... scary
Anyway what got me thinking about this is a book i am reading. "The Plot Against America". and it is nothing like what you are thinking it is.
It is a road less traveled premise, with the hardliner right making a truce with hitler, and using american hero, Charles Lindburgh as president, and execute a plan of separatist ethic segregation. Philip Roth, the author, has written 26 novels and won multiple pullitzers. Fascinating read
