Emily Estelle writes: Allowing al Qaeda to expand its safe haven in Libya would threaten American interests and those of our European allies. From a perch in Libya, al Qaeda could plan and conduct more attacks against the West, infiltrate refugee flows, and destabilize Libya’s neighbors. So, while al Qaeda is trying to lie low as the West focuses on ISIS, we shouldn’t fall into its trap. By all means, we should develop a counter-ISIS strategy for Libya — but we’ll need a counter-al Qaeda strategy to go along with it. – American Enterprise Institute
