You all make very strong points. Perhaps the world would not be that different than the one we currently live in. However, I do still like to entertain the idea that the world may have been better due to the lack of the Crusades and all that other nonsense that caused a lot of unrest in those days (mentioned earlier by Iroscato).
Whether or not that would have directly affected the present is something that can really only be guessed at.
