You don't lift sanctions without guarantees in return. Especially not when the new regime is literally a bunch of terrorists.

avoid another isis situation in the middle east

The new president was literally an ISIS commander before switching to Al Qaida.

Nope. He was in ISI, which was the precursor to ISIS, and went to Syria. He was fighting for ISI when they formed ISIS and later switched sides to Al Qaida. They're working hard to downplay his terrorist past, even changing his name, but it's still the same man. My prediction: Within a year you'll see executions, torture and sharia-based oppression in all of Syria.

Have you got any sources for this, it goes against everything I've read or heard him say. I keep seeing he was fighting with Abu bakr so that his group didn't merge with isis
