Who fought the Talliban? Whom have we handed Iraq to? Who has agreed to disarm Lybia? Who is in charge in Pakistan and at least nominally fighting the terrorists and watching the nukes? Whom are we counting on to foment revolution in Iran? Who keeps the oil flowing and the barrel price manageable?

Muslims!

Imperfect, bigoted, superstitious, treacherous, often hostile, Muslims. The ones we need for intelligence, foot soldiers, leadership and oil.

Our indispensable allies.

Individual Muslims, and the governments of certain Muslim countries, can sometimes be induced to act in ways that support our objectives, so long as we are not too heavy-handed in our string-pulling.

How much faith can we have in such allies?
