Twenty-five years after the September 11, 2001 attacks, the United States finds itself more divided than ever in its modern history, according to the article. The country and the rest of the world continue to suffer the consequences of the terrorist attacks carried out by Al-Qaeda on that date.
Osama Bin Laden, the Al-Qaeda leader responsible for the attacks, was killed by American forces. However, as the article highlights, other problems emerged in the following decades, with wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and currently in Iran.
The article suggests that few imagined, at the time of the attacks, that their repercussions would lead to decades of military conflicts and interventions in the Middle East, deeply shaping American foreign policy to the present day.
