Five Years of Consequence

A chart by Ben Schott, published on September 7th, 2006

This chart chronologically records the most influential events that occurred in the past five years. Also it provides various statistical surveys(like the approval rating of Bush and Blair, U.S. troop fatalities in Irap, etc) that envision us with lucid and detailed information on most paramout and interesting occurrences after 911.

Following is the caption from the chart:

It’s been nearly five years since 9/11, but it seems like a lifetime. Certainly, a lifetime’s worth of events for America and the world — elections and insurgencies, hurricanes and tsunamis, attacks and threats of attack — have unfolded with such speed that it can be hard to sort through, or even recall, everything of consequence. The chart below is an attempt, admittedly selective and incomplete, to survey the first five years of our post-9/11 world — a world that is certainly new, though not always brave.
