The NewsHour and the Christian Science Monitor would like to know the sentiments of Hampton Roads towards the war in Afghanistan for an article on Patchwork Nation.

  1. How do people feel about the war in Afghanistan? How do people feel about U.S. strategy?
  2. Here are some news links that may be of interest:
    “A Skeptical View of Afghanistan” from a new Washington Post-ABC News poll and “Military May Ask For More Troops For Afghanistan” from NPR’s coverage of yesterday’s Senate panel

Please forward this link to anyone you think may be able to share observations and opinions, so they may comment here.
