I guess we’re back to the 1990s when it was considered useful to have one lot of Muslims daggers drawn against another lot to try to keep the Middle East in check. The rebels in Syria are Al Quaeda-adjacent and Sunni. They hate the West but they also usefully hate Iran (Shia).

Problem is the last time Al Quaeda got too comfortable it didn’t work out so well in the end.
