The War in Afghanistan
A New Strategy
This week President Obama announced his new strategy for fighting the war in Afghanistan. Since then there has been no shortage of political commentary on the subject. I have chosen three articles, all with very different points of view for you to read.
The first article by Bob Herbert (A Tragic Mistake) argues that President Obama's plan is a mistake. The next article by Charles Krauthammer(Uncertain Trumpet) is also critical of the President's plan, but for a completely different reason. The last article (Surge, Then Leave) by David Ignatius is in favor of the President's strategy.

Look at all three articles and answer the questions on your current events worksheet, then post your own opinion of the President's plan in the comments section.
