In Denmark, higher than average support for Afghan war.
The Wall Street Journal profiles how Denmark, despite suffering some of the highest casaulties per capita of the NATO coalition, has sustained public support for the war:
The Danes, meanwhile, have largely maintained support, selling the mission as a humanitarian effort rather than simply protection against a terrorist threat, and building consensus among political parties. They have reaped the benefits of a largely supportive media and the country has, to some degree, rediscovered its pride in an active military."The key to sustaining public support is an elite consensus that includes politicians in government and opposition as well as key opinion leaders: influential intellectuals, academics and columnists," says Dr. Peter Viggo Jakobsen, a security expert at the University of Copenhagen.
