And why shouldn't it be an option? We share more in common with the Russkies than we'll ever share even with the most westernized Muzzies.
As we fight the Russians, (even by proxy), we consequently allow the Muzzies further oppurtunities to advance their caliphate, much as occured in the first millenium AD when Western and Eastern Christendom were too busy fighting each other to resist the common enemy.
History repeats itself, first as tragedy and then as farce...again and again and again.
Ask Russia. They don’t want to be our friend, they want to help Iran kill our soldiers in Iraq. They are still burning from their humiliating defeat in the Cold War at the hand of Ronald Reagan. Their KGB leader Putin laments the collapse of the Soviet Union. He wants revenge for the loss of the EVIL EMPIRE he faithfully served all his adult life.
