Re Arming the Terrorists

Saudi Arabia, Israel, most of Europe and the United States are lending morale support to the rebels in Syria, who are trying to over throw the government of President Bashar Assad.

Sanctions, talks and diplomacy all seem to have had little effect on Assad. This is perhaps due to the fact that both Russia and China are in support of the Assad government.

Now though it would appear that the United States are contemplating upping the stakes. They are considering Financing and arming the rebels.

Now the head of Al Qaida, Ayman al-Zawahri is calling for all supporters of Islam in, Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan to support the revolutionaries in the overthrow of Assad.

Why would this terrorist group, a sworn enemy of the US now seem to want to help the American cause?

Could it be that the terrorists have longer memories than the US Government?

Could it be that they still remember that it was Assad, who allowed his special forces to work with the American special forces and that it was due to this assistance that led to the US finally tracking down and killing Ben Laden?

Could it be that they remember that it was America’s generosity and perhaps carelessness, that originally financed, armed and equipped the terrorist group in the first place?

Why is it that America seems to have forgotten these things and why is there no mention of these in the US media?

When will America learn from the lessons of the past?

Whenever they distribute weapons to revolutionaries, they inevitably end up in the hands of people intent on killing Americans.

Interfering in other countries politics seldom turn out as expected. Egypt for 30 years had been at peace with Israel. Now “liberated”, the new government has stated that it will support the Palestinians in their plight for sovereignty.

Now that Libya has been “liberated” they have become embroiled in a virtual civil war.

America, sometimes it is better to deal with the devil you do know, than taking chances on Crowning a devil you don’t.
