I would certainly agree that there have been significant strides forward in a number of areas, but I think it is important to recognize that in many areas of Afghanistan--and we tried to demonstrate this in our report--there are still areas of very severe poverty. In those conditions we may find that individuals are joining the militants, or growing poppies. We're saying that those gaps need to be addressed. There have been improvements, but we can certainly do a lot more with the funds coming into Afghanistan.
