Afghanistan
has become a permanent topic in the regional security agenda discussed all over
the world. One would not be mistaken to assert that there is not a single state
in the world that has ever gained such a vast political attention than

The theme of the threats of high technologies became topical right after
telecommunication and computer network cyber attacks on the 18th anniversary
of 9/11 made by Nahjibullah Zazi, an Afghan raised New Yorker who conspired in
detonating a bomb in New York subway station. Although, this story does not
anyhow remind the legendary Hollywood blockbusters where impossible become
nothing. Unlike in the Hollywood where the film-heroes often demonstrate their
intelligence in the use of technologies in order to break passwords, hack into the
bank accounts, control air traffic, install surveillance systems, gather
intelligence, attack power generators, Zazi has demonstrated rather primitive
skill in his act of sabotage. He was eventually incarcerated and there was no
happy ending in his story.

In the prevailing conditions
within U.S. domestic
politics, American experts in recent years have increasingly analyzed Washington's foreign
policy problems standing in front of the Obama administration. As the most
important, they indicate the continuation of military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq,
the situation around the nuclear programs of Iran
and North Korea, Middle East problems and others. It is noted that there
are “hard times” ahead of Obama, because of his strategy on foreign policy will
be colliding with conservative
attitude of the Republican Party, which, after the election to the House of
Representatives in November 2010., has gained control of its main committees, which
regulate the country's foreign policy.
