Ten years after 9/11: The world remade

http://www.intelligencesquared.com/events/the-world-remade

This discussion took place on 27th June 2011 at the Royal Geographical Society in London, with Oxford Analytica (http://www.oxan.com/) as partners.

Event info:

Ten years after 9/11 a new era of beginnings and endings is upon us. The Arab Awakening and Bin Laden's death, the rise of China, the perils of Pakistan and emergence of Africa, the power of social media and the promise of a new global order all herald a world remade.

In this special Intelligence² event, former Foreign Secretary David Miliband and other leading experts from Oxford Analytica, the global strategic analysis and advisory firm, will chart the tumultuous path since September 11th and show how it will shape tomorrow's volatile global order.

Why did the hunt for Osama bin Laden take so long?
Is counterterrorism counterproductive?
Have the "Wars of 9/11" been worth the money and lives expended?
What has their effect been on the Middle East and the Muslim world?
How have Russia and China responded and, in Beijing's case, managed to strengthen its geopolitical standing during the decade following the attack?

Come and hear compelling insider accounts combined with insightful analysis from former senior policymakers, intelligence officers and academic specialists and have a chance put your questions to them.

Any body who talks about "Al-Qaeda" or "Osama Bin Laden" with seriousness as if they were real, to me, they don't know nothing or are too stupid to realize that they "have been taken for a ride" by the global elite that chuckles when they hear some one repeating the myths and propaganda fantasies they feed us through the main stream media news.

@Bhattman07 You know that feeling when you say/hear a word so often, it kind of loses its meaning?
