that is what happened in the straits of malacca a few years ago. very high incidents of piracy there but malaysia, singapore, indonesia and thailand came together, put in place a maritime scheme, shared information, joined in cooperative patrol, but at the same time they were able to use their law enforcement ashore, and they were able to essentially eradicate piracy in the straits of malacca. we have to continue to work cooperatively, but i would also say that three, four years ago if you had said that china, russia, the e.u., nato, malaysia, india, the united states, australia, canada, greece, turkey would all be working together, that's a pretty, pretty interesting mix of countries. but that's what we're doing because there is a common concern that we all have, and i think we are making some good progress there. but it's also an international effort. for example, we created a task force, task force 151, to be a coordinating element for piracy, and right now that task force is being commanded by a turkish admiral on a united states ship. >> other
