This video is part of a special Council on Foreign Relations series that explores how 9/11 changed international relations and U.S. foreign policy. In this video, Foreign Affairs Editor Gideon Rose argues that the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States "unleashed U.S. power on the world."

He says the end of this decade saw a "chastened, less hubristic" U.S. attitude and a country confronting a host of domestic challenges. -
