Abstract
Abstract : President Barack Obama has rejected former President George W. Bush s doctrine that placed the War on Terror at the center of American foreign policy, yet the Obama Administration has largely adopted the Bush Administration s strategy in Afghanistan. After nine years of war in Afghanistan and with a national deficit exceeding 14.1 trillion dollars and climbing, President Obama s policy in Afghanistan and the economy will likely define the success or failure of his Administration. This paper reviews Al Qaeda s rise to power as a terrorist organization and their attacks against the United States since 1992. It then compares the wars in Afghanistan and Vietnam and recommends adjustments to the Obama Administration s current policy in Afghanistan to achieve a peace with honor and permit the nation to focus resources on disrupting Al Qaeda safe havens worldwide. 15.
