Seems you are responding on a posting of 15 Feb 2005,

Would someone be able to tell me the correct latin for the old saying "The
enemy of my enemy is my friend"
Thanks,
M. Storm

The correct answer would be; Inimicus inimici mei amicus meus est.

The correct answer would be; Inimicus inimici mei amicus meus est.

"A" correct answer, perhaps, there could be many.

Or there being no need for "est":

"Hostis hostis mei amicus meus."

Not all that quick, though. M. Storm has been waiting nearly 17 years
for this information.
