What if we hadn't invaded Iraq?

I think about this during idle moments. Would our government still be applauding itself for having "rid" Afghanistan of the Taliban? Would there be any serious efforts to stop the ongoing oppression, especially of women and girls, there? How would Bush's campaign debts to big oil have been paid? Would any real money have been allotted to help America's first responders and to protect cargo holds and containers?
