Sir, I understand that, but I find that incredibly surprising. Here we have an immense expenditure of money, a huge commitment over the next number of years. What you know and what I know also is that in fact what one has as technology is often what one ends up using, and therefore, it isn't just that technology follows policy; often it ends up the other way around.
So the kind of decision we're making about these planes is going to have an immense impact on the nature of our foreign policy over the next 40 years. Just having this kind of intelligence you're talking about is one thing, and I understand that. But I would have to imagine that a decision like this would have been rooted in a plan of imagining what those next 40 years will be. Otherwise, how would one know whether this was the right expenditure of money?
