Zehntausende Tote, Billionen an Kriegsschulden, und 20 Jahre später ergreifen die Taliban wieder die Macht: Die Bilanz des US-Einsatzes in Afghanistan fällt düster aus.
9/11 and the Successful War

It has been 10 years since 9/11, and all of us who write about such things for a living are writing about it. That causes me to be wary. I prefer being the lonely voice, but the fact is that 9/11 was a defining moment in American history. On Sept. 12, 2001, few would have anticipated the course the resulting war would take but then, few knew what to think. The nation was in shock. In retrospect, many speak with great wisdom about what should have been thought about 9/11 at the time and what should have been done in its aftermath. I am always interested in looking at what people actually said and did at the time.
