Terrorist attacks on 11 September, 2001 started a number of changes in the US security policy. The USA declared a war against terrorism, whose first practical manifestation was military intervention in Afghanistan. President George W. Bush presented a uniform conception of the foreign and security policy in September 2002 in the National Security Strategy. This document contained a clause on the possibility of undertaking preventive and independent action by the USA in case of threat to national security. The war in Iraq indicated the USA's transition to pursue a policy of unilateralism. A lack of UN Security Council's mandate, mass international protests against the Iraq war, a growing number of casualties - both military and civilian, disclosed information about US soldiers inflicting torture on prisoners in Abu Ghraib, contributed to the fact that it was not easy for G. W. Bush, who had been running for reelection in presidential election of 2004, to carry out an election campaign. The purpose of this article is to show a connection between 'the war against terrorism ' declared in 2001 and Bush's reelection to US president.

On September 11, 2001 the greatest military and economic power was attacked by terrorists. The whole world was incensed by the precisely planned terrorist attack on the American symbol of economic success and prosperity - World Trade Center (WTC) as well as on the center of the military power - the Pentagon in Washington D. C. The attack on the mighty USA made the whole world realize that even the strongest state was not totally secure in the global village. Those tragic events dominated Polish press. Reporters who were sent to the place of attack described the atmosphere of those sites, the communication paralysis and the panic of the society. The emotional character of the reporters' accounts from the place where the events had taken place was probably to convey the atmosphere of a paralyzing fear which overwhelmed the United States. The character of the attacks proved that there were no unreachable goals for terrorists. The new threat united and mobilized the world in the common fighting against the evil of a global character, the evil which had touched the United States, proving that all countries of the western hemisphere were threatened.
