9/11 exacerbated existing trends

Graham Dodds, a professor in the Department of Political Science, was interviewed by TVA on the repercussions of 9/11. In a second feature published in The Montreal Gazette and carried across the PostMedia chain, Dodds argues 9/11 exacerbated existing trends, such as a strengthening of the role of the U.S. president and increased distrust of media. “Those who suggest America had never been attacked at home don’t know their history,” he says.
