    Also, sometimes “terrorists” give up their armed struggle. That’s something that should be encouraged. If you go with the idea of “once a terrorist, always a terrorist” then there’s no incentive for so-called “terrorists” to ever change their ways.

    And, from a more practical matter, he’s in charge of Syria now. If the international community wants Syrians to be free, happy and healthy they have to try to work with him. If they cut off all aid to Syria and refuse to work with him, then the only people who will work with him are all the various bad actors of the region. They shouldn’t necessarily fully trust him, but they should give him an opportunity to show he has the best interests of the Syrian people at heart.

      These mental gymnastics that selectively apply to very few specific instances to prop up US interest is always wild.

      The Nazis gave up their arms too, why did the Nuremberg trials happened then? Why even have international laws against war crimes when you can just say what the west wants to hear and get off scot free. This is exactly the plan with Netanyahu too.

      You people are despicable ghouls that only concern troll with the moral high ground when it fits your narrative.

        So, it’s propping up US interests to help Syrians avoid hunger? Why is it that you think I care about US interests anyhow?
