Going to bed with strange bedfellows is not a solution. It is an arrangement of convenience. So long such a facade is not hurtful, it is tolerable. But once such a treaty is over, the honeymoon turns into terror. My point is that USA should rethink the age old foreign policies and friendliness in diplomacy.
Oil prices are just another cosmetic facelift in the ballgame.
The whole issue is now fast becoming one of Islam vs. anti-Islam. Unfortunately, since the terror wave has barely reached the US shores, Uncle Sam thinks it can choose to ignore such acts of violence and probably sees no pattern in this newly emergent form of terror. That in my view is mypoic with disastrous results.
