“Historical trends exhibit the danger that newly poised al Qaeda affiliates are posing to American safety, rivaling or even eclipsing the original sects in place before U.S interventions. These militant groups have primarily local interests, and are best left alone if the United States wants to avoid making new enemies or to attenuate existing plotting against U.S. targets. Yet instead, the U.S continues to form ‘partnerships’ with often questionable factions to fight terrorism, many times resulting in the exchange of one extremist government for another. This policy can incite blowback.”
