US Welcomes Syrian President Who Bombed Civilians, Calls It 'Landmark'
The irony here tastes like depleted uranium. Sharaa, leader of 'rebel forces' that overthrew Assad, gets a red-carpet welcome after years of conflict that left hundreds of thousands dead and displaced millions. The US State Department, which previously sanctioned his regime, suddenly finds him amiable enough for a presidential handshake. This rebranding conveniently overlooks the widespread human
rights abuses and civilian casualties documented during the Syrian war, now swept under the rug for 'diplomacy.' It appears that being a 'terrorist' is a fluid designation, purely dependent on whether you're currently aligned with US interests, or if the previous administration just happened to dislike you. One might wonder how many 'rebels' commit 'terrorism' until they become 'legitimate
leaders.' This rapid whitewash of a brutal conflict leader reveals more about US foreign policy opportunism than any newfound Syrian benevolence.
