A new poll finds Afghans overwhelming reject al-Qaeda and the Taliban, endorse the overthrow of the Taliban, and approve of the U.S. military presence in Afghanistan:
Eighty-one percent of those polled think that al-Qaeda is having a negative influence in the world.
Ninety percent-said they have an unfavorable view of Osama bin Laden.
Eighty-eight percent said they have an unfavorable view of the Taliban
Eighty-two percent said that overthrowing the Taliban government was a good thing for Afghanistan.
According to the Program on International Policy Attitudes, these views were held by large majorities of all ethnic groups, including the large Pashtun and Tajik groups and the smaller Uzbek and Hazara groups.
The poll was conducted from November 27 to December 4, 2005 and has a margin of error of +/- 2.2 percent.
Some say we failed in Afghanistan because bin Laden got away. The results of this poll suggest we have in fact been very successful in Iraq.
