Realpolitik / Realislamik

I don't necessarily object to the the West using Muslims tactically -- as long as we realize the nature of the volatile, fanatical raw material we are using and its severe limitations. That's Breszinski's problem: his Realpolitik with Muslims is firmly ensconced in the PC MC paradigm, and thus it cannot graduate to a learned, wary "Realislamik".
