However that does give me an idea for another movie- Kirk et al end up going back in time to prevent WWIII from happening in the 1990's. (Which would explain why they talk about it in the 1960s TV show, but it never happened for us.)

I think a lot of the time line of Space Seed needs to be thrown out. There is just no way the whole eugenics and Botany Bay exile could happen before the events of First Contact.
If they were willing to throw that out, they could conceivably use the opportunity of a villain they need to expunge as the catalyst for creating Khan. Unless all of the whole talk of Khan is just a red herring, and he won't be in the film.
