We would have experienced 9/11 the same way we experienced the takeover of the US embassy in Tehran. Painfully, without clear and coherent defense or retribution.

Unemployment would be standing around 35%, and 'Occupy Wall Street' would be real, with hobo shanties called "Goreville" standing in every major metropolitan area from Bangor to San Diego.
