US Support for Afghan War Hits New Low
Local Editor
A recent poll suggests that American public support for the US war in Afghanistan has hit a new record low. According to the CNN/ORC poll, only 34 percent of the American public supports the ten-year-old war in Afghanistan. The new figure is one point less than the previous all time low of 35 percent.
The poll shows that about 63 percent of Americans oppose the war, and that 57 percent say it was not a mistake to send military forces to Afghanistan back in October 2001, only weeks after the September 11 terrorist attacks in the US.
The poll suggests that 58 percent now say that the US war in Afghanistan has taken the shape of the situation the US faced in Vietnam, decades ago.
The increasing number of military casualties in Afghanistan has caused widespread anger in the US and other NATO member states, undermining the already declining public support for the Afghan war.
The security situation continues to deteriorate in Afghanistan despite the presence of nearly 150,000 US-led forces in the war-torn country.
The US-led war in Afghanistan, with civilian and military casualties at record high, has become the longest military conflict in US history.
