Bush wins reelection against Clinton, whose lack of foreign policy experience becomes a lot more relevant. Better managed or not, the occupation would feed into radical Islam worldwide, and 9/11 or a similar attack happens on the watch of a Democrat who wins in 1996 and I assume again in 2000. As OTL, Iran steps into the power vacuum of post-invasion Iraq and starts butting heads with the US, and PNAC sets its sights on them instead: 9/11 is eventually used as pretext for an invasion either there or against "Shi'ite Axis" member Syria. By the late 2000s, the US is occupying three Middle East countries (assuming Afghanistan still happens) and not doing great. The European migrant crisis, populist wave, etc. are all amplified.
