I remember the revolution in Iran with the fall of the Shah. There was jubilation in the streets but then came the iron fist of theocracy.

[AnxiousEducator]

I understand why many Syrians are celebrating, I can't help but feel however that this is a repeat of Libya.

[joshuapaul]

Look at Libya and you'll see Syria's future.

[gordonallen]

May ALL the people of Syria know peace. Hopefully, they will form a peaceful government that will represent all of it's people

[Yes]

As an American, im hoping we let the Syrians take care of this. We've proven not to know what to do in the area.

syrian plz dont be like Iraq and lebya

[renoesmaeilian]

How many celebrations have we seen after toppling of a regime and the symbolic destruction of statues only to be followed by nightmarish infighting and establishing of a new dictatorship.

[umazjalal]

What can you say when people do not learn from the democracy brought by America and its allies in Lybia, Iraq, Sudan, Tunisia, Afghanistan, and now Syria

[DefeatedMelon]

They talk about this while everyone exactly knows where Syria is going...

[Syazwan]

Pray for more bless and door to open for Syria, peace from Malaysia

[LawrenceLeverton]

From one ruthless tyrant to a Terrorist Organization. This wont go well.

[calm]

May the tolerance and peace be with all Syrians. .

[Butterfly]

To take a country is done by money. To keep a country alive it takes character in leadership, not weapons.

[s_u__p]

Don't celebrate too early because you people don't know what these people gonna bring to you!

[karylhogan]

🤔…give them a week and they will turn on each other…🙄

Hopefully, Syria can break the mold that has traditionally governed Arab countries, allowing for the establishment of a genuine secular democracy rooted in tolerance for all religions. Unfortunately, history suggests otherwise.

[consultant]

As with other Israel manipulated regime changes that have zero planning for change of govt (Iraq, Libya, Tunisia etal) expect complete chaos, civil war between factions, looting & Turkey attacking the Kurds there

[localparfait]

Let them all go home now. Go back, restore Syria.

[ellebelle]

These comments should only be open to Syrians who have lived and experienced the last 13 years of civil war in Syria.

[xtasy]

Let's hope Syria gets to see peace. Without a Govt in sight, it seems difficult
