Zelin appears to be a 'think-tanker' par excellence. All of the institutions he's associated with are ostensibly opposed to jihadis but in reality are probably more geared to identifying how western regimes can best exploit these incredibly violent individuals to achieve policy objectives.

Nothing changes - the Afghanistani mujadeen were supported by the US decades ago because they were fighting a Soviet-backed government - probably the only progressive government that benighted land has ever known. US officials didn't give two hoots about the kind of society these violent groups would create once they took power. No Syrian should fall for the idea that western officials care about their lives, the societies they live in and their futures.

Well said ..

.. and analysed Sue. Still, it's very sad that Syrian military just collapsed under pressure of (US/Turkey) head-choppers (incl. Ukr neonazi mil). Let's hope for the best.

You say:

I'd very much agree with your assessment. I was in Afghanistan in '66. One of the hotels I stayed in had a 'progressive' family living above me. Obviously Soviet-influenced, if you like. Don't know how to put it, but they were super-straight in comparison to life outside (it was in Kabul from memory). Dress, manners etc. Outside life generally carried on with Peshtu male with a rifle followed by burka-ed female 10 steps behind. This was after I arrived from Tehran where young females had mini-skirts and young (male) students complained about Shah's SAVAK goons. Just a snippet
