BinLadin was once the CIA's best agent in Afghanistan against the Russians, he's now America's deadliest enemy.
The Hamas/moslem movement was once backed by Israel against the PLO, it's now the sworn enemy.
In international politics as in home politics the common interests are often for a limited period of time.
