But you study him, you look into his eyes and know he dissembles an emotion which he does not feel in the depths of his being because he has no capacity for it. He does not feel a personal responsibility for the 1,000 dead young men and women who wanted to be what they could be.

abstract,

Your sentiments above are not shared by any of the family members of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan with whom the President has met in the last couple of years that have spoken about their meetings. In the numerous such stories that I have read, grieving family members have described their private meetings with the President as deeply moving, with the President expressing his sincere grief over their loss in ways that convinced them of his sincerity. Even Cindy Sheehan, before she became a media darling, expressed a similar account of her meeting with Mr. Bush.

Opposition to the war does not require that you paint him as a heartless wretch incapable of feeling emotion and empathy. That description of him is completely opposite of the impression that I have of him, irrespective of opinions about the war.
