Mr. Lord, we've talked about the difficulty of getting into a mission, and obviously missions change over time, especially when you're there for a number of years and it may not look anything like it did at the start. Another factor in that is the local actors. You know, we don't get to pick the local actors. We don't get to pick the Taliban. We don't get to pick Hamid Karzai. We don't get to pick Karzai's brother or any of these guys, but we just have to work with them.
Can you just comment on some of the challenges of that and how we handle that, as we tend to apply Canadian context to Afghanistan, and the difficulty that presents to messaging, that it's not Canada and we can't expect things to happen in Afghanistan as they happen in Canada?
