But you can see the scale of the problem, and we're just trying to manage these realities and these operational dilemmas. The expectations of what we can do are a problem. We cannot meet them at this stage. I would be less than honest if I said we can guarantee the protection of every civilian. We were brought in as a peacekeeping force, and we have now had to take on some dimensions of peace enforcement. Self-protection is part of the soldiers...
