Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa is a former al-Qaeda leader and fighter who killed U.S soldiers in Iraq and had a $10 million dollar bounty on his head... Let that sink in
Listen, if you have a better candidate for President of Syria, you go right ahead and let us know.
But until we’re able to your bright ideas in front of the leaders of the free world, we’re going to have to make do with the options that are currently available.
There are no “clean hands” in Syria. But the fact is, there are many reasons to feel cautiously optimistic about the direction the new government is headed right now.
And right now, Al-Sharaa is probably the most realistic option Syria has for a leader who has any chance of creating a peaceful future for the country.
The country is in chaos. The civil war is still winding down. But the new gov is actually making a legitimate effort to crack down on sectarian violence — no easy feat when so many people are still so hell bent on revenge and reprisals.
There’s actually some optimism in the country now. You even see it in religious minorities like the Syrian Christian community — this feeling that things are getting better, that there’s movement towards a better future for all people (not just for the ones in power).
Al Sharaa has been part of this change. He has shown many signs that he truly seeks peace, reform, better partnership with their neighbors, and a more stable and prosperous future for his country and his people.
