Enemy of my Enemy

From moderate German conservatives working with the Nazis, to liberals working with the Ayatollah in Iran, to America funding al-Qaedas's predecessor in Afghanistan; the stories of those who compromised their views in pursuit of a greater good always ends in tragedy. Not even the modern day Western conservatives and liberals are exempt from this rule.
