This diary reports on a recent survey of Afghans directly affected by the Marjah offensive to assess the effects of military operations on the Afghans. Many of the findings suggest that the US/NATO forces should be packing their bags rather than continuing military operations. The survey group -- the International Council on Security and Development (ICOS) -- is a security and development think tank that has been doing research in conflict zones such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia.

The second trend is whether it will retreat from newly imposed rules that limit direct access to staff at the Food and Drug Administration.
