President Assad

It was interesting to witness that neither Russia or Iran rushed in to help.
Russia is over stretched and Iran is keeping its head down.

It's difficult to know how this will end. Millions of Syrians have been killed or fled as a result of this dreadful war. Assad is an evil man but I can't imagine it's going to be easy for Syrians to create a peaceful country which refugees will want to return to but under Assad that was never going to happen anyway. The middle East is so unstable I think we can only hope that the situation doesn't get worse rather than better.

I suspect Syria will end up as an Islamic State, much like Iran or Saudi Arabia. Nonetheless I was hoping the rebels would manage to apprehend Assad so he can account for his crimes.
Neither Assad nor an Islamic State will be good for the ordinary people of Syria.

I doubt it will be an Islamic state like Iran
On the news this morning there was footage of the rebels ( freedom fighters? ) destroying anything associated with Iran.

I doubt it would will be a peaceful transition with all the different factions wanting their leaders in power. I hope I’m wrong.
