I would have done largely what we did, with one important exception, I would not go to war in Iraq later.

Noone in the world tried to say the war in Afghanistan was unjustified, we had the moral high ground and the world's support, even most of the ME nations approved, or at least didn't actively protest. We had defeated the Taliban rather handily and had almost caught bin Laden when Chimp boy decided that nobody was gonna diss his daddy.

I wouldn't do all the Patriot act crap, but I would spend some of the money we've sent to Iraq on securing our borders against terrorist attack. At the very least I would Xray ALL containers, like the entire world, except for us, does.

I would also spend the rest of he money we've sent to Iraq on energy independene, and I would put economic/diplomatic pressure on countries like Saudi to liberalize their govts/cultures or face losing our trade eventually.
