   I would go back in time and, if technology is good enough by the point time travel is possible, turn him into a good person.

   Yes, this would be great. If we could stop him, he would never die, and the Twin Towers would always be in good shape and position. Ah, you know.

    I wonder what would happen if JFK wasn't assassinated. He could have run for a second term.
