Okay. I appreciate the honesty there, sir.
President Karzai also said on television, when he visited us here in Canada, that this year, 200,000 fewer children are attending school than in the previous year. He obviously outlined that reconstruction, etc., is very important. We've also heard from other witnesses and seen in comments we've read that the reconstruction aspect of it is not moving as it should, because funds have not been flowing as they should be flowing, for reasons of whatever obstacles are before them—I don't know; you might enlighten us.
It seems, from some of these comments made by President Karzai, that we're going backward and not forward. The Taliban seems to be in a very aggressive, proactive combat mode, preventing and terrorizing Afghans and of course not allowing young men and women to attend classes. Also, as infrastructures go up, so quickly, I hear, do they come down.
How do you say we're making progress in this?
