Thank you very much. I'll ask my colleague to follow through. Those are really pertinent questions.
I think what is very clear that needs to be said right at the outset is that what we are doing in Kandahar and our effort in Kandahar is thoroughly rooted in Kandahar priorities that are explicitly part of the process within the Afghan government, both nationally and locally, at determining what they believe is most important. What we are responding to is directly related to those priorities.
Water security, basic education, services for citizens, the opportunity for jobs and growth through local infrastructure--these are the kinds of things, time and again, that have come out as Afghan priorities, to which we are responding.
