Hi,

Thanks

"From 9/11 on the USA" is quite easy to misparse -- then you have to backtrack when the sentence doesn't pan out. I suppose the easiest fix is to put a comma after "on". You could also consider saying "Since 9/11, ..."

Please let me know.

Yes, as Untaught says, it's now OK. "onwards" is fine too. In fact, I think "onwards" is slightly better.
