碩士 === 淡江大學 === 美國研究所 === 93 === After 911 terrorist’s attack, President George W. Bush and his cabinets have National Security Councils that discuss anti-terrorist policy to against Afghanistan in 2001. There are two parts of anti-terrorist policy that included cooperation and military operation with other countries in the world. United States seeks alliance through international regime to condemn Osama bin Laden and his terrorist organization, al Quaeda. President Bush request Taliban to hand over Osama bin Laden. He also align with members of United Nation that passed resolutions to blame, attack and destroy organization and financial system of terrorist group. America also is the global leader of anti-terrorist union. American President also evaluates the situation of anti-terrorist in the world. The Congress has authorized president to use “Enduring Freedom military action to Afghanistan. He decides to use force in Afghanistan. Actually vice president Dick Cheny dominate the cabinet’s policy that launch military to Afghanistan. The Department of Defense has play important role in the operation. United States is sharing the information and logistics with NATO, using air station in the countries of Central Asia and working out with North Alliance in the ground battle. Finally U. S. wins the victory. This issue affects geopolitics in Central Asia that America want to exploit oil there. We should focus on the relationship and interaction of China, Russia and U.S. in that region. I employ decision-making theory of Graham T. Allison, Interpretative case studies of Arend Lijphart to analyze anti-terrorist of Afghanistan. I always cite official and academic papers to find out the policy of truth of Bush Administration.
