Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
The family code only applies to the Afghan Shia minority and not to all women, but there's a concern about it being a precedent. I want to ask you the question about competing visions for the Afghan mission. The President of the United States has now indicated that he's moved basically from democratic nation-building to the issue of dealing with the staging grounds for terrorists.
Was the liberation of Afghan women ever really part of our mission for going into Afghanistan? What have we really done in terms of responding? We say there's no silver bullet. I don't know whether there are any bullets in terms of addressing the issues. In this case, what are we doing now, since then, to register...? If this can pass without comment until afterwards, and then people say they haven't read it—the President has admitted it—how do we ensure the kind of capacity-building we need in order to prevent these kinds of things in the future? What is the role of our mission in this context?
My two colleagues also have two questions.
