Hello, Guardian readers.
Today marks the 20th anniversary of 11 September 2001. On this somber day, America will grieve for victims of the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington DC that killed nearly 3,000 people, sparked long, bloody wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and dramatically altered the course of the 21st century.
