I’m not as arrogant as you are to purport that I have any idea what the implications for the Syrian people are. There does not appear to be a clear succession plan in place, and what I fear is that this creates a brutal power vacuum, the likes of which allowed ISIS to gain power in the region. For as much pain, suffering, and tragedy as the Syrian people have endured at the hands of a brutal dictator, I’m not sure how much more they can endure and I just hope that what comes next is better than what the last decades have been.

I appreciate your insight. Agreed.
And given how quickly events seem to have unfolded makes it all the more uncertain.
