Disagree. Watch everything about the enemy of your enemy. In fact, just go to the fantasy elections board. It's nasty.

Sometimes the enemy of your enemy is your friend.  (Churchhill during WW2), sometimes an ally of nessesity but no friend (Stalin), and sometimes the enemy of your enemy is another enemy (If the Yakuza and the Mafia have a gang war, which one is the friend of the police?)

This might be the stupidest question on the test.

Disagree.  It might be tactically wise to employ the enemy of your enemy in the fight against your enemy, but this does not by any means make the enemy of your enemy your friend.  Just look at what happened with the Soviet Union after the Axis in WWII fell.

A better saying is:

The enemy of my enemy is a good person to manipulate.  (me)

I agree with the statement, with strong conditions/reservations.

I would prefer to say that the enemy of my enemy is somebody with whom I have certain common interests.  Not necessarily a friend, but perhaps an ally, on a limited basis for a period of time.

Strongly Disagree. It was this mindset that led to conservatives supporting Saddam.

Occaisonaly idiots on the left take this mindset too, such as the few (and greatly ountumbered) morons on DU who defend Mugabe because he is one of the most anti-neoliberal world leaders out there. He's still a f'cking douchebag and most on DU see this.

Similarly, David Duke was also "Anybody But Bush".

So definately strong disagree.

Strongly Disagree. The enemy of the enemy CAN be a friend but it is not automatically so.
