I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Without the benefit of reading the alternative history, I would say probably not a lot.

It was only the Canal Zone and not Egypt that was the objective. There would have been a massive and continuing drain on resources. We would have pulled out of the Far East much earlier, and then ME would be where it is now.

Really Suez was a minor skirmish.
