This is a socialist perspective, but their reporting often contains an analysis that seems more correct and direct than many other interpretations of the same event. It's worth reading. www.wsws.org/articles/2009/sep2009/pers-s04.shtml "A CBS News poll released on Tuesday found that 41 percent of respondents in the US want to decrease troop levels, up from 33 percent in April and 24 percent in February. The percentage of people who want to withdraw US troops is nearly twice the percentage favoring an increase. A number of recent polls show a clear majority opposed to the war.
Popular opposition is as high if not higher in other countries with troops in Afghanistan. In Britain and Canada, 52 percent favor withdrawal; in Australia, 66 percent oppose the war; in France, the figure is 64 percent; in Italy, 56 percent; and in Germany, 62 percent."
