With a grain of salt

That is how you need to take this article when you read it. This “survey” is so skewed that I cannot believe that any reputable news organization would even put their name on it. How is it even possible to “survey” or “poll” 1500 people in a nation that is 2 weeks out of the stone age and is so corrupt with people heavily influenced by anti-coalition enemy forces via threats and violence that there is no way they will answer honestly. The people of Afghanistan put very little value on human life, and now that our country (the great Uncle Sugar) is paying the family members of “innocents” killed, there is no doubt that poor fathers will line their kids up like cannon fodder and march them into convoys and dismounted patrols hoping that they die to get money.

I am really disappointed in ABC News.
