“If the U.S. government has forced the American people to support useful dictators, why is it trying to overthrow Syria’s brutal president, Bashar al-Assad, whose enemies — Jabhat al-Nusra (al-Qaeda in Syria) and the Islamic State (the ambitious al-Qaeda offshoot) — are also self-proclaimed enemies of America? Instead of discussion we get a parade of retired generals and CIA analysts, along with terrorism ‘experts,’ who insist that to defeat the Islamic State the U.S. government must end the Syrian civil war by ousting Assad. All this adds up to an American, Saudi, Turkish, and Israeli preference for violent Sunni jihadists.”
