Résumé:
America's worst nightmare became a reality on September 11, 2001, when an organized
terrorist attack occurred in New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Since then, the United
States has committed to combating terrorism under the banner of the "Global War on
Terror." For such a war, the US needed to develop a number of new policies, both to
ensure domestic security and to prevent future terrorist acts globally. This study deals
with US policies in post 9\11 attacks: assessing US Nation-Building efforts in
Afghanistan and aims to demonstrate how the United States dealt with or responded to
these domestic terrorist attacks, as well as how these incidents sparked significant
counter-terrorism efforts in the United States and marked George W. Bush's presidency.
Furthermore, the study also aims to explore the real motives and objectives of the US
intervention in the Middle East particularly in Afghanistan. Then, to evaluate US efforts
to rebuild Afghanistan during the Bush and Obama administrations, and assess its efforts
after US withdrawal. It will be justified through the research that with the withdrawal of
the US from Afghanistan, neither war on terror nor this building nation policy ended on
the terms America wanted.
