MEANING FROM CHAOS: REFLECTIONS ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 — TWO YEARS AFTER

On 10 September 2002, the Centre for Constitutional Studies sponsored a symposium at the University of Alberta Faculty of Law, entitled “September 11, One Year Later.” At the end of symposium, audience members put questions to the panel, on which I had the privilege of participating. The very last question was along these lines: “Would you say that anything good has come out of the events of September 11?” I shall attempt here to respond once more to that question. But I must take care with my response.
