Minister, I don't mean to detract at all from the very great professionals who are on the ground—and I've had the opportunity to visit them, both in Kabul and Islamabad—but the President of the United States has appointed Mr. Holbrooke as a senior envoy to look at Pakistan-Afghanistan. I have long had the feeling that our military effort in Afghanistan has not been matched by our diplomatic and political efforts to find a long-term solution.
I wonder if the government would consider appointing somebody who would be able to match the efforts of Mr. Holbrooke—I'm not suggesting that they match the rhetoric of Mr. Holbrooke—so that we can be seen to be working very closely with the administration in an area that, I think, is going to require much greater coordination as we go forward.
