I was hoping for better news than that. I think you hit on it when you said that NATO has given up on the Karzai government. That's troublesome, because they installed this government. By abdication, they allowed them to stay in office, when Abdullah Abdullah believes that they won the election. I'd like to hear more about your preconditions. My belief is that Canada should come out of there; our military forces should come out of there. But if we're going to ask for preconditions, how in the world could we guarantee that? What's the measuring stick? Where do we say that the preconditions have been met? We're already there, and we are supposed to come out next year. You're saying we should set preconditions: if we don't see something happening in ten months, we should come out.
