A peaceful period of several years while they rebuild. Remain in power till the Syrian people don't want him in power anymore.

e.
What kind of ruler is Assad then? This is a situation that he had to manage. He created a largely secular government, with one of the best educated free and wealthy societies in the Middle East. One where women were not viciously oppressed. Of course his methods of maintaining this and keeping the lid on the barbarians were immediate and forceful to a level beyond what we see in our liberal democratic societies. Perhaps he should have been more like us and dragged these people before magistrates who could have issued a few fines and community service orders. That'll show them not to mess around with this society! Looks like he takes a different view on what needs to be done to maintain some sort of civilised society. Maggie |

The majority of Syrians fled the country because of Assad. I'm not sure they'll be too keen to return with him still in power.

But there's more to what's going on in Aleppo than civilians being "in the way". I've read of pro-Assad soldiers actually going into homes and shooting people dead. That's what I find most troublesome.
It could be true but I wouldn't take any statements from brutal beheaders as fact. |

Or perhaps we just let Assad roll over Aleppo and the rest of Syria, killing all those who stand against him, until he wins?

If you feel that strongly about it pack your bags and head over there to fight Assad's regime. You'd fit in well seeing as over 50% of the people still fighting Assad are foreigners.
This is sensible given who has been doing the killing, the beheading etc. Hopefully he will try and deal humanely with the Syrian born men and get to the bottom of what they have been up to. For the foreign born males??? Well let's hope we never have to see them back in our Western societies again. Maggie |

In countries that have historically had systems that are just a few steps away from being governed by tribal warlords, it's unrealistic to expect a western style democracy to emerge from the ruins. The foundations to build that on simply don't exist.

Syria was a perfectly nice country until the "moderate" rebels took a hand.

![]() Do you really believe we want to get involved in Syria for humanitarian reasons? The West was more then happy to support Neo-Nazi's overthrowing the Government of Ukraine. |

Once the troops are finished, the Russians can barrel bomb the terrorist's home and bury everyone alive. |

Russia wouldn't be able to fight Israel, as it would involve the US, who the Russians definitely don't want to fight.

This is the most idiotic conspiracy theory that's been debunked here and elsewhere. Neither Saddam or Gadaffi threatened the dollar being used to buy/sell oil, and if you honestly believe that it is clear you've never studied economics.

He's just spouting random conspiracies and low-rent propaganda. Going back and forth with him is a waste of time.

Your logic is unsound. Assad will not give up power therefore the people will not get that chance for a peaceful transition.
You want to try that one again? |

Who said the forces in the region, you think Russia wouldn't turn their full attention on Israel if they did?

No, they fled the war [and the terrorists], now the war is slowly coming to an end, and when the rebuilding begins they will have to go home as they no-longer have an excuse to stay out of Syria.

looks like it would take years to rebuild.cant believe how every home has been damaged, just how many bombs have fell i wonder, must have cost billions. i wonder if the west hadnt gotten involved it would have been over in a few months.
we try to help but make it 100 times worse yet again. the region needs dictators to keep every one in line, they dont like democracy it seems |

Wouldn't matter if they did or not there is no way in hell the Russians could supply an army large enough to fight Israel, they simply lack the logistic capability to find a large scale war that's not next door to them.
