Background

After 9/11, Bush believed that, behind this horrific attack, there is a master mind involved. The master mind of the Osama Bin Laden and his supporters Al Qaeda and it are all terrorist organization were residing in Afghanistan.

That line is a symbolic way of communicating to others the possession of a portion of the Earth's surface because it is not tangible or observable in the territory, but it exists. And as such circumscribes the territory where the state exercises its sovereignty. But she is not border. The limit is a line and, therefore, cannot be inhabited. By contrast, the border, which occupies a strip and is an area, is defined and in fact there are a variety of situations, ranging from uninhabited or sparsely inhabited, to the very populated in which exchange activities are very intense. Border security is a response to emergency preparedness and response to critical situations that may arise while the state is diverted towards other areas.
