Do you see a substantive difference between Ahrar al-Sham and Nusra?

Thanks for doing this, btw. It's important to put a face on people that too easily just become statistics.

Yeah that's my sense of it from the outside. Labib Al-Nahas knows how to talk to Washington and the UK (especially with those op-eds last summer in WaPo and the Telegraph). But it's all for show.

To me it seems like Ahrar al-Sham is just Nusra with better PR. And any differences they have are more over internal competition, rather than ideology or tactics.

I hope you can go back to Aleppo and they'll be gone. I would love to visit Aleppo some day when this is all over.

If Bashar does fall, what do you see happening in Syria? Especially between Nusra, whatever's left of Jaish al-Islam, and FSA.
