Afghanistan - Poll: Afghans express confidence in country's direction, security

And so it begins. Now that the Democrats are in charge things are going great in Afghanistan.

The title for this BBC report on Afghanistan, currently running on the front page of their website, is "Home from home". Get it? Afghanistan is just like Britain now that the Democrats won.

From the USA poll.

Most of the 6,200 surveyed say they are satisfied with democracy, but corruption is a major problem

Despite a raging pro-Taliban insurgency, the people of Afghanistan say they are optimistic about the future, satisfied with their young democracy and rank security low on their list of everyday concerns, according to a survey out today.

In what it is billing as the widest opinion poll conducted in Afghanistan, the non-profit, San Francisco-based Asia Foundation surveyed 6,226 Afghans 18 and older in person in 32 of the country's 34 provinces over the summer.


Lots of good numbers in the poll so be sure and read it. Notice, if you do a word search of the report, you will not find any of the following: US, USA (other than the paper), America, Britain, Bush or Blair. I guess all this Democracy, security and prosperity just sprung up out of the desert on its own. Funny that.
