(1) Of course 9/11 still would have happened.
(2) Domestically, little would be different in the Homeland Security sense. We'd still have had ridiculous color-coded warning systems, or something similar, and we'd all be needlessly scared out of our minds. Gore would have likely put forward and signed a watered-down version of the Patriot Act, expanding federal powers to fight terrorism.
(3) Abroad, the U.S. would have gone into Afghanistan almost immediately. We'd have stayed out of Iraq, though I can imagine there being pressure to extend the war there by Congressional Republicans. (Quiet at first, but getting louder around the 2002 midterms.)
