America Trumps Two Terrible September Days

Two terrible September days sum up the first decade of the new American millennium. The first was Sept. 11, 2001. Osama bin Laden's suicide terrorists hit the Pentagon, knocked down the World Trade Center, killed 3,000 Americans and left 16 acres of ash in Manhattan and $1 trillion in economic losses in their wake. Two invasions into Afghanistan and Iraq followed â?? along with a more nebulous third "war on terror" against Islamic radicalism.
