Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Capstick, there's a book, and I forget the author's name, but the book is saying that Afghanistan is in worse shape now than if we had stayed home. I know you don't believe that to be true, and I don't believe that to be true. What does this say about countries like ours and NATO? What do they do to prevent genocide in a country or mass suffering of a people inside a country, when we either don't know what we're doing before we get there or we don't seem to be that effective when we do get there? I believe we have to do something in these countries, whether it's Zimbabwe or wherever, when you see hundreds of thousands of people being massacred by their own rulers. But then we see books like this that say we'd be better off staying home.
I could probably answer the question myself, but I'll let you answer.
