I published a short essay reflecting on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. This is more of a personal piece; there is great work readily available analyzing 9/11 in terms of public policy, defense strategy, efforts to deal with religious extremism, and so forth. In this essay I talk a fair amount about my personal connection to 9/11, especially in light of living through the aftermath of the 1998 bombing of the U.S. embassy in Nairobi, Kenya.
