What if? The missed opportunity of 9/11: The missed opportunity of 9/11
What if, after the September 11 attacks, things had been done differently? What if President Bush had addressed the nation by saying, "My fellow Americans: Everything in us cries out for revenge.

But I propose another route, one that links us in our vulnerability to the other peoples of this world."
