But don't wait until Friday to get informed about Afghanistan.  Maddow and our featured bloggers will be using the links below to prepare for the show, and now you can too.  Should the U.S. redeploy troops to Afghanistan, or can a non-military resolution be found?  And how can the U.S. send troops without sending much-needed aid?  These are just some of the questions explored below that we will be discussing:
