Directions
Civilian casualties have dramatically increased in Afghanistan, with the number of civilian deaths doubling in 2007. The inadvertent killing of Afghans by U.S. and NATO forces is undermining efforts by the international community to stabilize Afghanistan, and has resulted in a decline in approval and support for international military forces in Afghanistan. Can NATO successfully defeat Taliban insurgents while simultaneously upholding thier mandate to protect Afghans and promote stability?
