America would still hold a great measure of respect, and our country wouldn't be up to our ears in debt. Also, we'd have about 2,200 more Americans alive than we do now...

Saddam Hussein would still be playing games with the UN.
Other than that, it's hard to speculate. Although I'm probably better informed than 95% of the people that have a opinion, I'm really not that well informed. Isn't it funny how everybody has to have an opinion, but noboby has to know what they're talking about?
Maybe Afghanistan would be a hotter area. Perhaps Iran and Syria would have focused their attacks over there.
Like I said it's hard to speculate without having a reasonably good grasp of how all world politics are interconnected. Would Kim Jung Il be doing what he's doing? Would we have more attcks in the US? I don't know.

fewer terrorists in the world
much smaller deficit/national debt in the US
2000 + americans alive today
many thousands of americans not crippled
many many iraqis not dead
might have caught OBL if that was still a priority
more respect for US in the world
not stuck with iraq with no police or political structure and no way to get out

Al Quaeda would not have had many of their top people killed in Iraq. Also AQ's reputation with the Arab people would not have been irretrievably tarnished by their massacres of other Muslims in Iraq.
IOW, without or invasion of Iraq AQ would be much stronger and we would be seeing many more attacks.

If we hadn't attacked Iraq . Nothing would have changed dramatically. Israel still would have attacked Palestine and Lebanon and still there will be terrorist attack in countries like INDIA AND PAKISTAN

More peaceful and over 2500 soldiers will be still in life and almost 20.000 will be not injured. This all that destroyed many peoples life. About Israelis and Palestine problem, there we needed somebody smart can handle that problem. Now, everything mest up......

We'd still be in the same war, but on our doorsteps.
