This in the lead-up to the "Friends of Syria" conflab in Morocco tomorrow, at which those friends will decide next steps for the "uprising".
al-Nusra are by some accounts the most effective fighting group on the ground in Syria. How do the Western managers of this "revolution" proceed while sidelining them? Can they be sidelined?
And by declaring that a major insurgent group are terrorists, are the "Friends of Syria" not confirming what Assad has been saying all along, that his regime is fighting terrorists?
This story from Aleppo provides some insight into the evolving quagmire on the ground. In the rebel held areas of the city, the most popular rebels are those of al-Nusra, not the Western-backed Free Syrian Army.
Not only has the West succeeded in destabilizing Syria by flooding the country with fighters and arms, it has now set the stage for prolonged internecine fighting among the rebels themselves.
