Us stretched in afghanistan, irag and maybe iran. These are all a result of sept 11. Recap: changes in international relations after sept 11 involved these things. Wars in iraq and afgan, return of torture, military detention, border hardening etc. When we have multilple angls ofan event we asses what we saw. In most cases we only have 1 angle. Multiple angles can still mean we don"t know what we are looking at. What type of event is formed by the 4 planes on sept 11. Repeated comments from people there is that they thought they were watching a movie. Cultural artifacts like movies shapes how we see the political world.
