United States national security priorities were expanded after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, to include military action in Iraq and Afghanistan, tightening border security, pursuing cyberthreats, halting nuclear proliferation and attempting to snuff out homegrown terrorism. How has the U.S. national security agenda evolved since 9/11? In what ways will the death of Osama Bin Laden alter this agenda? And what shape will the American way of life take in the future?
