Abstract
<p>The U.S Foreign policy during the Soviets encroachment of Afghanistan at the height of Cold War has been evaluated, as well as its negative effects in Afghanistan-Pakistan (Af-Pak). During 1979, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R) landed on Afghanistan in order to secure Warm Water Ports and Persian Gulf Oil. (This was called as the “Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan”). By having this situation, The U.S government established a mission in Afghanistan which consisted on two main purposes. One of them was to stand against the invasion of Afghanistan provoked by U.S.S.R. and the second one was to provide Afghan Mujahedeen Movements with some help and be prepared for the coming situation. So, the provision of the most dangerous weapons and the need of billions of dollars were made to these fundamentalist Afghan mujahedeen. Thus, they could protect themselves and fight against the U.S.S.R invasion. As a matter of fact, the Taliban groups were founded due to U.S policy. Nevertheless, the establishment of them has become the biggest general threat to global peace, particularly for Afghanistan and Pakistan. This research consists of three parts which are going to be developed in the order as follows: The internal milieu of Afghanistan and the intervention by U.S.S.R, The U.S policy interests and the outcomes of these policies, The Afghan and Pakistan consequences which were gotten by these policies. This Research is going to be a new source of knowledge for understanding the U.S foreign policy during this War and their negative effects on Afghanistan and Pakistan such as refugee’s settlement and number of other problems. Although Americans just revenge from Soviets but this game also destroyed the Pakistan. Also as an explanation on the nowadays coming international terrorism and how the Afghan insurgents have become strong enough. </p>

Summary
After provision of financial support and arms to Afghan resistance movements against the Soviet forces in Afghanistan, the U.S deemed it essential to ally itself with Saudi and Pakistani governments. Pakistani ISI official stated that there were only two groups which were considered most fundamentalists during Soviet-Afghan war (Yousaf et al, 1992). The ISI was permitted by CIA to produce the radicals to fight against the Soviet Union It was steady with Pakistani intelligence objectives of change the Mujahedeen conflict to worldwide conflict by Muslim countries against the U.S.S.R. Thirty five thousand fundamentalists from forty countries joined the jihad of Afghanistan. The Pakistani security agencies allocated financial aid and weapons to extreme fundamentalists among the Afghan resistance movements (Rashid, 1999). The experience of Bin Laden during Afghan war accentuated and emphasized his religious ideology, when U.S.S.R shell fell before him His ties with U.S weapons and money solidify his control in Afghanistan. Due to U.S foreign policies and U.S involvement in Afghanistan, this region has been destroyed and world’s biggest terrorist organization have been founded which is the biggest threat for global peace and Afghanistan seems to be like a hell in the world map
