'Lindsey Wilson Conversations' Episode 3: The War on Terror
Posted on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 [10:15 AM]
Most Americans mark the U.S. war on terrorism's
starting point as Sept. 11, 2001, when members of Al-Qaeda
terrorist group hijacked four jetliners, crashing two into the
World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and crashed the fourth
into a field near Shanksville, Pa.
But as LWC Assistant Professor of Political Science
Stefan Brooks points out in a recent episode of "Lindsey Wilson
Conversations," the United States had been in an unofficial war
against for more than 10 years before the 9/11 attacks.
"Sept. 11 really brought home to the American
people and the American government this war that had actually been
waged against the United States for 10 years," says Brooks, who is
teaching a course this fall about the war on terror.
