They may not be our "friends but we have far worse enemies. The Middle East is a tinderbox of the northern hemispheres creation. England, Germany, France. Belgium, the Dutch used these,places as supply and commodity production pawns. Turning eventually to the oil.

Not our friends, indeed! I would like to think we are taking the approach of "keep your friends close, and your enemies closer..."
