Syria has no history of democracy, but one of Islamic acceptance of subjugation to Allah. That concept migrated to their politics. They want more freedom under a strong ruler, not democracy. The experiences of the Arab Spring in other Arab countries leads us to no other conclusion. The choice is not democracy, but dictatorship or Islamism in the form of a Muslim Brotherhood or Taliban type of government. I would appoint a secular benevolent dictator.
