Yeah, we'll just have to agree to disagree on 9/11. This may be a generational perspective difference. I viewed the national attitudes and zeitgeist as peaceful, happy, non-stressful, my entire life and then 9/11 started up a dark stressful era that we still aren't out of.
We lived in fear of another terrorist attack for years, then engaged in multiple major foreign wars. The 90's were the end of the cold war and people (fukuyama) actually speculated that we had reached the end of history.
9/11 showed us that Russia was not the last major antagonist America would face.
