Some hopeful signs from Mr. Obama's enemy, Pakistan, as reported by the BBC:

It appears that Bhutto's husband, Asif Zardari is the clear favorite in their upcoming election, and he plans to enact his assassinated wife's "master plan" of maintaining strong ties with the United States, giving her army what it wants, and going all-out against the Jihadis in Waziristan.
Thankfully, more and more people are beginning to realize this is a world war we have on our hands, and the Jihad must be completely defeated if the free world is to survive. This is a war where allies may come from unexpected places (Pakistan and Libya come to mind as two interesting possibilities), and, like with the Soviet Union in WWII, we may have to have uneasy friendships with regimes we aren't too happy with in order to defeat a more dangerous enemy.
Such has always been the case for the pragmatic believers in liberty, and such will always be the case. God help us, we may even have to befriend the French ;)
