Thank you.
You said that war is about peace, and I suggest that everything done by the Canadian Forces, every single day and by every member, is about peace in one way or another.
You also talked about definitions of peacekeeping and peacemaking, and we've heard various terms thrown out. There seems to be...“desperation“ is probably too strong a word, but there seems to be a strong desire to be able to define whatever it is. It seems to me that the idea that we've got to do that becomes part of the administrative delusion.
You talked about appreciating the situation and what the military does in that. Does that administrative delusion, perhaps falling out of trying to define something too closely, lead to a tendency to situate the appreciation? Do we say, “Okay, we've made up our minds, this is what it is”, and wind up going to a former Yugoslavia or an Afghanistan without a clear understanding, and then put an awful lot of pressure on the folks on the ground to pick up the pieces of that administrative delusion?
