This was an odd decade. Maybe I'm just getting older and have lost touch with modern pop culture but I can't think of anything that really defines this decade in the sense of culture (fashion, music, ect).
So I would have to agree with the OP to me this decade was really defined by the war on terror and the Bush years. To me it seems that in the last 10 years you couldn't turn around without discussing/seeing something about the war, Bush, 9/11 and the controversy of it all. Not to mention the way its changed so much of the world around us from travel to global politics. Its funny, when 9/11 happened (I was 21) my boss picked up a news paper, shook his head and said "Things are never going to be the same, you'll never now the same freedoms I've had as an adult in America" and walked away. At the time, probably being a little naive I thought America or the world for that matter would never change over something like 9/11, it just didn't seem that huge at the time to me for some reason. What a difference 10 years makes.
Speaking of 10 years I can't believe this decade flew by so quickly. I remember going into work on New Years day (same job as above) picking up a news paper and marveling over the date reading 2000! I just stared at it like I had stepped out of a time machine or something, I think I even saved it for awhile. That seems like it happened just like week I can't beleive that was actually 10 years ago. Wow.
