dumb thread.
al qaeda of 2001 is long gone. jihadis who want some press use the word for the Fame. The USA uses it to smear any Islamists they don't like.
now the Op is using the word just to smear american policy in syria. when the fact is, Islamists are a portion of the overall resistance. who cares if those islamists call themselves al qaeda. they just want press.
american policy of neutrality has historically led to unexpected blowback, going all the way back to george washington. the war of 1812, world war 2, 911, all happened while americans declared themselves neutral while they watched bad things happen overseas.
so if america does nothing, & chemical weapons start finding their way to american cities, i guess Op will make a thread about how our doing nothing was wrong all along.
