During the history of Afghanistan, somehow, we witness insecurity. The activities of terrorist groups, mafia and drug traffickers with the help of major global and regional powers, however, have intensified the insecurity in this country. these activities have crossed the borders of Afghanistan and with the new developments in Afghanistan, they have set a new page in the history of this country. The basic question of the research is consideration of the failure of international community in Afghanistan threats. The purpose of this research is examining the role of the international community in dealing with security threats from Afghanistan, especially in the fight against terrorism and drugs. The theoretical framework of this article is employing the neorealism approach and our method of research is using of this theory. Neorealism pays special attention to the discussion of interdependence among governments and the influence of international system on the behavior of states. The findings of this research show that the role of the international community and the United States in dealing with security threats of Afghanistan failed despite much economical cost in the fight on terrorism.  The reason for the failure of the international community in dealing with security threats is the lack of honesty in the serious struggle, the chaos ruling the relations between the governments, the unilateralism and pursuit of the interests of some members of the international community, and the instrumental use of terrorism and drugs in Afghanistan.
