Should President Obama console the families of US soldiers who are killed in Afghanistan? Is this

expected of him? Would he have time to do so? The thread about 5 more US troops killed yesterday brought this to mind.

1. instead of/along side of consoling the families of the dead, maybe he could try to prevent more

End the war(S)

Afghanistan had noting to do with 9/11 or any other reason we are there. Learn from the Soviets, they lost in Afghanistan and we will lose thousands of troops if we try to stay there to win a war that we dont need to wage.

3. He should meet with the families if they make their way to Washington. Ten minutes out of his day.
