That’s the cliché de jour, but I think 9/11 changed our lives in ways we can’t yet see – or even imagine.

It’s not just leaving your shampoo and toothpaste out of the carry-on bag.

History is an unpredictable thing.

Think about Vietnam. Thirty-five years ago, nobody could have imagined how deep and searing the wounds from that war would be in our society and our world view today.

So try to imagine:

• What will be the historical impact of George Bush using 9/11 as a pretext to launching what threatens to become a war of Islam Vs. The West?

• If America is attacked again, who will we declare war on?

• Will our government ever regain the public trust in the wake of the damage Bush has done? And what will that mean for our future?
