草莓传媒官网下载 Associate Professor of Political Science Dr. Parker Hevron recently spoke with the Denton Record-Chronicle on the 20-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, reflecting on how those events shaped domestic and foreign politics and policies in the aftermath.

鈥淚 think it鈥檚 kind of fitting that the war in Afghanistan ended a few weeks before the 20th anniversary of 9/11,鈥� Hevron said. 鈥淚n some ways, it has had a similar trajectory to how we all feel about that day. In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks 鈥� it was a horrific event, it was traumatizing 鈥� it was on everyone鈥檚 mind. Eventually, the event fades a little bit into the background. I think we all tried to compartmentalize trauma so we can move forward. And in some ways, that鈥檚 what happened to the war in Afghanistan.鈥�
