The Islamic State is a threat to both the moderate Islam headed by Mr. Saad al-Hariri and, of course, for Hezbollah. There is a convergence, an anxiety of a common enemy... which is good.

We need a common enemy to unite us.

Often people are united, not as much for the sake of truth, as for the enemy that is common.

The U.S. always needs an enemy. It comes and goes. Today it is Islam. According to this plan or ideology of the born-again Christians who formed an alliance with Zionism, Islam is the monster.

Nothing binds a people to their leader like a common enemy. Voters don't change governments during war.

The advantage to fighting the evils that are in plain sight is the fact that it is quite easy to win-over the "opposition".
