Yes, that would be my advice. But I think we have to be clear that it'll bounce back on us because there will be an operation that we may not want to fight in, but we will then be in the position of being dragged along by the rest of NATO. So it cuts two ways.
Yes, our friends and allies have let us down in NATO, but let's be clear: we have not always been the best of NATO allies in the past ourselves.
Should NATO go out of area? Ideally not, but who else can? That's the question. It seems to me that in some cases—Afghanistan is a perfect example—NATO was really the only thing that was willing to do it. Why? Because it served the national interests of the member nations of NATO, including Canada, because that area was too volatile to be allowed to slide further into chaos. So it seems to me that it's a good thing that there is some organization that is willing to do those kinds of dirty jobs. The United Nations couldn't.
