If that happens, then do we wind up with challenges--for instance, what we're facing in Afghanistan right now--of interpretation of international law, where people have difficulty putting things into the context of the extremely difficult circumstances we're operating in? That includes in Afghanistan, and I suggest in Africa, where it would be just about impossible to do that. Do we wind up with challenges to the folks on the ground again because there's a tendency for the mission to become a target of some NGOs or others who may have an ideological or other axe to grind?
