America Can Unite Syria's Rebels Against ISIS (Bassam Barabandi, Nicholas A. Heras, The National Interest)

The cessation of hostilities that took effect in Syria last month has remained surprisingly durable in the face of intense skepticism (including some of our own). Not only has Secretary of State John Kerry’s painstaking diplomatic work resulted in a significant reduction in violence, but it is now presenting an opportunity for the United States to help focus already vetted and supplied moderate armed opposition groups against ISIS. It is a decision that Syrian rebel groups acceptable to the United States are beginning to take unilaterally. The United States should do all it can to take advantage of this new development.
