The fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria has once again put the spotlight on U. S. foreign policy. While the media celebrated the end of Assad's rule, they forgot to mention the jihadists now in power. This is where Tulsi Gabbard, a former congresswoman and Iraq war veteran, comes into the picture. She's been nominated to lead the U. S. intelligence community. But why does this matter?

Gabbard has been a critic of U. S. foreign policy, especially its interventionist approach. She's not afraid to speak up, even when it means meeting with someone like Assad to explore diplomatic solutions. The U. S. has a history of using militant groups to fight its battles, which often backfires. Just look at Syria.

The U. S. supported groups like Al-Nusra, which is linked to Al Qaeda. These groups were supposed to be "moderate rebels, " but they're not. They're extremists who want to impose their own version of Islam. The U. S. has been playing a dangerous game, and it's not working.

Gabbard warned about this. She said that ousting Assad could lead to more chaos and violence. She's been right so far. With the jihadists in power, Syria is in a precarious situation.

Gabbard's nomination is a big deal because she represents a change in U. S. foreign policy. She's not afraid to challenge the status quo and speak the truth. That's what the U. S. needs right now. A leader who can look at the facts and make decisions based on reality, not political narratives.

The U. S. has made mistakes in Syria and other countries. It's time to learn from those mistakes and change course. Gabbard's nomination is a step in the right direction.
