This seminar paper deals with United States foreign policy and the fight against terrorism in
Afghanistan. Upon my seminar paper I like to discuss the thesis which promotes the idea ,that it is
necessary to combine military actions and development aid to ensure a peaceful situation in
Afghanistan. Since the war in Afghanistan is a very current issue I will do a lot of internet
researches due to the topicality of the internet. I will investigate official information provided by
government as well as non-governmental statements by journalists. The current situation in relation
to the aims of the Western allies in 2001 will be my main focus in this seminar paper.
