Honestly, I'd say the question is about as speculative as "How would Gore have handled 9/11?" It assumes that we can guess what would have happened in a world where the WTC never came crashing down...maybe China would have gotten ambitious and gone after Taiwan, or North Korea invading South Korea, or maybe nothing at all would have happened and an economic recovery would have taken place in winter of 2001/spring of 2002. WHO KNOWS?
