| Summary: | Four years have passed since the United States' Operation Enduring Freedom toppled the Taliban regime. While much work remains, several surveys indicate that the overall conditions of the Afghan people appear to have improved, and may actually exceed the conditions of the pre-war period two decades ago. A recent poll conducted by the U.S. television network ABC indicates that Afghans generally believe their country is moving in the right direction, demonstrated by the return of more than 3 million refugees. The country currently enjoys an elected government and an enlightened constitution. Educational opportunities have expanded and schooling is now provided for all children regardless of gender. |
