I'll very happily leave the detention issue to my colleague from the United Nations. I'll only say that NATO's policy is 96 hours maximum, and then anyone detained is handed over to the Afghan authorities, with full notification to the International Red Cross. So there are no black holes when it comes to detention, from a NATO point of view.
I think you can easily put “going well” and “painfully slow” into the same sentence and be intellectually coherent. It is painfully slow, but it is making achievable progress, measurable progress.
This was arguably the poorest, if not one of the bottom five poorest, countries in the world, destroyed by war, with all the problems that we all know--the regional problems and so on. People's lives are getting better. They have more money, they have more access to health care, and their kids are in school--not all of them, but slowly, slowly, it's getting there.
I think that's the only way we can look at this. If you just look at the problems, you'll be discouraged. But if you look at the progress, you know you're getting traction. We in NATO believe firmly that we are making progress. Clearly, the UN feels the same way.
Chris may have more to offer on Iran. What I can say is that from a NATO perspective, we have had low-level technical cooperation from Iran when it comes to airspace issues and making sure there are no misapprehensions or confusions when it comes to that. But we certainly have no information that Iran is playing a negative role when it comes to security issues related to us. That, I think, is a very important statement.
