It was Harry S Truman who suddenly found himself in the White House in 1945 on the death of Roosevelt and needing to decide whether or not to help the Zionists take over the land of Palestine.
One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
A terrorist in one decade and a President or Prime Minister in a later decade. Examples: Mandella, the new former jihadist who is now President of Syria - Ahmed al Sharaa.
MARK STONE US correspondent of Sky News wrote:
"The 33-minute encounter between President Trump and President al Sharaa in Saudi Arabia is perfectly symbolic of the message that is emerging from this trip: reconciliation and opportunity - the Trump way.
Just a year ago, the man who is now Syria's president was a jihadi military leader; an Islamist fighter whose group HTS and its precursor, the Nusra Front, had been aligned to al Qaeda and ISIS before turning on them.
The Americans had a $10m bounty on his head."
