    COURSES AND SEMINARSAMERICA ATTACKED: 9/11Will anyone ever forget the day we were attacked by Osama bin Laden? Before September 11, 2001, most Americans felt secure because they believed that the United States government could protect them. Since the Soviet Union collapsed in December of 1991, the U.S. was still enjoying the peace dividend. But after 9/11, we lost our confidence in our government, military, FBI, CIA and economic security. We will travel back to that fateful day to try to understand how and why the attacks on September 11 happened.
