Mayomick, Are you contributing to the discussion or just throwing typos at what has come so far? As we read or watch our various news sources in coming days we will learn how the population responds to the leadership proposals from those who step forward to take on the job. News media have been invited back and are pouring into Damascus now. Since many years have passed from the first ISIS activity in the region to now it isn't unreasonable to expect some change in opinions and strategy. I have an open mind regarding what comes next from the group that pushed Assad out of the country.

It was a startlingly fast turnover as far as Assad bailing from the country with his family (and bank accounts no doubt intact elsewhere). But that may simply seem that way because we in the West weren't paying attention. Israel/Gaza and the US election and Sudan have sucked a lot of the oxygen from the news cycle. (Though Sudan hasn't gotten the attention it needs.)
