We are not about to dump our Muslim allies.

They're dumping us, Larry. Actually, they're dropping the pretense of being our allies. So what shall we do, try to pretend that they are still the allies we knew they never were?

Look, this sort of stuff is fine for diplomacy, or for trying to keep our economy going, or for trying to calm down the Muslim hoardes, but let's be clear, among ourselves, who our enemies are: miltant Islamists and those who enable them, for whatever reason.

The governments of Saudi Arabia and Iran head the list.

By the way, I don't believe that Turkey is our enemy, simply because they are Islamic. They have a secular government, and don't, as far as I can tell, oppress their people and then incite their population to hatred of the U.S. to deflect their wrath from their oppressive leaders.

They are trying to hold on to power is what they are doing. Hezbollah Shi'ite agitators are all over countries such as Bahrain where they are trying to cause an uprising against the Sunni ruling class minority. Desmond Tutu, Mandela and others are helping them try to kick us out of the Gulf states too.

We want these people to stay in our camp and they want to stay. We don't want to have to figure out how to land C-5 Galaxy cargo planes on aircraft carriers should our Muslim allies be overthrown.
