Madam Secretary of State, you had indicated that you visited Afghanistan just recently, and you gave some very compelling remarks on your interactions with Afghans. I'm wondering if perhaps you could comment on whether you had been speaking to some of the military who were there too and whether they shared your same sense that we are doing well for the people of Afghanistan. Do you have any other stories about your interaction with the people of Afghanistan that were particularly poignant? And could you comment possibly to clarify their sense on the continuation of Canada's involvement? Do they have a fear if Canada is not?
