I hate feeling this hatred. I have to keep reminding myself that if Bush hadn't been (so narrowly) elected, we wouldn't be here, and none of this would have happened.

First, is it Margaret Drabble or Drivel?

Second, you're correct, Ms. Drivel. NONE of this would have happened:

the U.S. would have been attacked on 9/11;

Albore and Mde. Albright would have begun intense talks and negotiations with the terrorists;

the U.S. would have been attacked again;

the U.S. economy would have lost even more billions that it did on 9/11;

the world would experience a global recession because of the impact on the U.S. economy;

anarchy and violence would have spread across the globe;

the U.S. would have been attacked again . . .

Judging by her photo, it is Margaret Drab.
