Thank you for that.
You talked about, and everybody knows, that Canada has gained respect and admiration in the international community. We talk about consequences of the mission. I want to talk about the consequences of failure.
I want to get your thoughts on the consequences of failure of the mission in Afghanistan to Canada if Canada is deemed to be the cause of that failure because of a decreased commitment, and also the consequences of failure to NATO and the future of NATO. The consequences of failure to Afghanistan itself are obviously catastrophic, but I want to get your thoughts on the consequences of failure to Canada if we're seen to be the cause of that failure, and the consequences of failure to NATO as an alliance.
