I know you're very enthused about what you do and I appreciate the work you do. I honestly do. I just want to get back to my concern about the commitment and the shift. It's a political decision, so maybe I should be asking the folks across the table, at least the people they work with.
My concern is that when I was in Afghanistan, the MPs were very explicit with us about making sure that more of the aid was going to Afghans. The MPs were also concerned that we not pick winners and losers. The MPs were concerned about the message it sends to other people in the country if there is a shift of aid to the south--because there are challenges, no question, in the south.
I'd like to turn to what has been mentioned in your brief, the ANDS. I was surprised when I talked to the MPs, when they told me—and this goes to governance and the buy-in from Afghans—that the Parliament and members of Parliament had never seen the ANDS and didn't have any input to the ANDS.
