re: Where would we be as a country if 9/11 didn’t happen and we didnt go to war?

Social media and self segregation by viewpoint would still divide people, but our country really went to shite after 9/11. It accelerated the split, gave us Obama, and left us considerable debt. Thousands of Americans will suffer lifelong injuries and mental issues for involvement in specific military actions of debatable value (if our plan was right did we really need to spend so many years fighting in Iraq; did we allow Iran to much room to fight us by proxy, etc, etc). People seem to have been crazy ever since.
