Let me just add to that very briefly. I think one of the real problems that we have is that we're spending our time between Canada and the U.S. arguing over boundary disputes in the Beaufort. We are duplicating efforts in terms of our ability to provide security in the Arctic, following President Bush's national security presidential decision directive at the very end of his administration. We're working at cross-purposes when we should be working together. It will be expensive to develop Arctic capabilities. We're going to have to move very quickly to keep pace with the Russians, and we should be doing this together, not fighting now and squandering this moment.
