Abstract


Crises are accompanied human in his development. Initially they were a consequence of weather conditions and natural disasters, while the later, more and more were influenced by human factor. With the development of information technology, the crisis became global. Crisis as a result of natural disasters is generally accompanied by the true story of its causes. However, the war as a contemporary form of crisis includes the two sides "victim” and “attacker” and the truth of it depends on the story, which is served by a stronger force in the conflict. The war in Afghanistan began 7 October 2001, launched by the United States and the United Kingdom as response to the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington on 11 September in 2001. year. That was the beginning of the war against terrorism. The events that followed created the controversial picture of the war in Afghanistan. Many questions were raised about justification of war and revealed numerous truth of what is hidden from the public. American politics with media hides the real economic and strategic interests that encourage war against Afghanistan, in order to maintain the false belief that this war broke out overnight as response to the terrorist attacks of 11 September.
