So why you see articles about any western state providing support to the FSA they are not meaning Al-Qa’ida.

Someone, NATO, UN, EU or some other power is systematically taking down the Arab states that were prosperous and had liberal islamic views.
First it was Egypt, yea not very prosperous but they were tolerant to a lot of non muslim.
Then you have Libya, which was by far the most prosperous country in Northern Africa, maybe even the entire continent and they were also very liberal.
Next up is Syria and its civil war whose rebels are largely made up of non Syrians, just as it was in Libya and Egypt.
Come on, does it have to hit you right in the face before you can see whats going on?edit on 1/6/2013 by Juggernog because: (no reason given)

I agree the Syrian people have the right to self-determination independent from actions of other states.
If however the people of Syria state they no longer wish to be under the rule of Assad and if it is clear that Assad is committing crimes against humanity then as global citizens we have a moral obligation to provide them with assistance if they are willing to accept to aid them in their effort.

The point I am making however to you is that just because America provides assistance to the FSA does not mean they are also providing assistance to Al-Qa’ida.

Extremely high probability you are going to deeply regret saying that soon.
After following your posts in a few threads, I have to ask. Do they provide enough for you to live comfortably enough from their paychecks?

No, but they did give me a very nice pen.
Why is it whenever people on ATS hit a post that shows that a conspiracy claim is utter rubbish some members automatically assume that said member, in this case me is being paid to post.
It adds nothing to the debate nor does it prove me wrong.
