18 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 58% ABC/BBC/ARD Poll: Biggest Danger to Afghanistan : Among other violence, a quarter report car bombs or suicide attacks in their area in the past year; three in 10, kidnappings for ransom. Thirty-eight percent report civilian casualties in the past year, attributed about equally either to U.S./NATO/ISAF or to anti- government forces, and somewhat less so to Afghan government forces. Given these and their many other challenges, the number of Afghans who expect their lives to improve in the year ahead has dropped from a peak of 67 percent in 2005 to 51 percent today. And just under half, 47 percent, expect a better life for their children, hardly a ringing endorsement of the country s prospects. The resurgence of the Taliban is a key element of the public! alarm: Fifty- eight percent of Afghans see the Taliban as the biggest danger to the country, measured against local warlords, drug traffickers or the U.S. or Afghan governments. And 43 percent say the Taliban have grown stronger in the past year, well more than the 24 percent who think the movement has weakened. 30% 20% 10% 0% Taliban 13% Drug Traffickers 8% 7% United States 1% Local Afghan Commander Government s. 58% 13% 8% 7% 1% Source: Gary Langer, Director of Polling, ABC News, Afghanistan: Where Things Stand, Public Opinion Trends in Afghanistan, CSIS Feb. 11,
