If he is not a recent convert he'd better hurry up and get it done. His new found allies recognize only two enemies, the weak and strong. They fear and respect what we have, bigger and better weapons, and snicker and chuckle over dunces like him. When and if the time comes they will use him like we use a paper towel-he will be crumpled up and cast aside.
