I don't want to take the time of the committee, but I have two points.
I asked Mr. Brahimi, if he had a decision to make over again, what it would be. His decision would have been to include the Taliban from the outset in the efforts to create a new state. We left them on the outside, and they've done what they've done. There are Taliban and Taliban, I guess. But that was one thing.
Second, sharia law doesn't necessarily equate directly to Islam, because in a country like Turkey they don't have sharia law--at least not yet. I want to reinforce what Ms. MacDonald and Ms. Armstrong said. What we're dealing with is one of the more extreme interpretations even of sharia law.
