I would propose that even a peacekeeping deployment to certain areas of the Middle East—namely, around Israel or Lebanon or any of these other countries, should that come up—might sow some significant divisions in our society about where our commitments lie, and particularly if we don't maintain strict neutrality, which has been something we've abandoned over a certain number of years. So I have serious misgivings about certain types of peace operations in that region of the world, for instance.
