The 9/11 Wars
------------------------------------------------------------


** Looking Back, Moving Forward
------------------------------------------------------------

Twenty years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, America has finally ended the war in Afghanistan — but many of the leaders, ideas, and incentives that sustained our failed nation-building project remain.

The Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft will bring together government officials, journalists, and foreign policy experts for a series of virtual discussions about the two decades of American militarism that 9/11 spurred.

Join us as we explore what lessons, if any, America has learned from the war in Afghanistan and how we can avoid repeating the same costly mistakes.
