September 11, 2001: Expert Analysis, Part 1
Added 5.7.18. In these broadcast excerpts dating from shortly after the terrorist strike on the World Trade Center in New York, Milt speaks with two expert panels. The first is made up of Daniel Pipes of the Middle East Forum, plus three University of Chicago political scientists: Charles Lipson, John Mearshimer, and Robert Pape. Their conversation centers in part on the appropriate response to the attack, and the efficacy of U.S. and allied military force as a deterrent to future radical Islamic terrorism. The second group is historians Donald Kagan of Yale and Frederick Kagan of The U.S. Military Academy. This conversation includes analysis of the dangers of action versus the dangers of inaction.
