US designates Syria's Jabhat al-Nusra front a 'terrorist' group
Här kommer en intressant artikel som återger att den amerikanska utrikesdepartementet har terroriststämplat abhat al-Nusra fronten en terroristgruppering med kopplingar till Al Qaeda i Irak
Artikeln tar också att rebeller i al-Nusra kommer ifrån
Denna terroriststämpling är ovanlig för att vanligtvis brukar amerikanerna bara stämpla grupperingar som har försökt att skada amerikanska intressen
Mina fråga är följande:
Kommer amerikanerna försöka att se till att gulfländerna upphör med sitt stöd till al-Nusra?

En annan artikel som tar upp samma sak. Artikeln tar också upp finanseringen av rebel grupper.

The insatiable habit of the US to get involved in civil wars and try to overthrow regimes by proxy has not led to constructive ends in the past, and has already worsened the situation in Syria.
