9/11 plus 10: What have we learned?

A panel presentation at Saint Michael’s College
Monday, September 12, 2011, 7 p.m., McCarthy Arts Center

Ten years have passed since planes crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania changing the way we think about America in the world.  Since then there have been two wars, and numerous terrorist attacks in other countries, as well as the pro-democracy Arab Spring. A panel of experts reflects on what we have learned in this decade:
