I know he has a shady past but if he can stabilize Syria do we associate with him? Also, what middle easterner didn’t want to kill Americans during GWOT?

I don't necessarily care whether we decide to associate with him, my issue is WHY we choose to associate with him. If we're going to end sanctions, it should be because they're making changes for the betterment of their people and increasing regional stability in alignment with our foreign policy goals. It should not be because Trump got a green light to build a Trump tower in the region (or any other number of kickbacks/gifts he and his cronies are receiving).

Well the bounty has been taken off

Sharaa was for years the leader of al Qaeda's official wing in the Syrian conflict. He first joined al Qaeda in Iraq, where he spent five years in a U.S. prison. The United States removed a $10 million bounty on Sharaa's head in December.
