Quick question but, are we allowed to contextualize/define terms and concepts before we pose questions? For example, I can see how some Canadians might not understand what exactly "peacekeeping" entails or what NATO is (again as others have said, we need to remember that not all Canadians may know these English terms or are familiar with such concepts).

That's a good question. I think, or at least I hope, we could give some short explanations regarding such concepts. For example, if we ask something about peacekeeping (which I don't think has much to do with Afghanistan, but say we mention it), maybe we could start with something like. "According to the X dictionary/whatever source, peacekeeping is defined as ... Given that definition, do you believe that ... ...?". As for NATO, I would just explain what it stands for, and/or maybe also shortly mentioned when it was created and for what main purpose, whatever info is relevant to the question we are asking.

Lee, I hope a short explanation is possible. We should set a limit to the word length though just because people often may lose interest if they have to read a long explanation section first.
