The first thing I have to say, quite honestly, is that I have not been in Afghanistan since 2002, and I have been out of uniform for three years. So I haven't seen the details of exactly what's going on on the ground. I'm basing my comments on open-source material in terms of what I am aware of.
There have been difficulties in that regard. In some cases, it is because some members of the international community who have committed to do development and reconstruction work haven't delivered. I'm not talking about Canada; it's an international effort. There are something like, I believe, 36 nations in Afghanistan; there are a lot of people engaged. So there are other people there. In some cases, it's because the security situation in the region doesn't permit it to occur. So there are some imbalances. Certainly in the south, the balance has been heavily weighted in terms of the security issue, which is a concern.
I will reflect on the reality, though, that we only took over in the south in the early part of this year. It's one of the tougher regions of the country. It's a tough nut to crack, and it's going to take some time. Whether, on a day-to-day basis, that balance is right I can't tell you, because you would have to be there to see if that is the case.
