What does the collapse of the Assad regime really mean?

Washington has supported Sunni rebels in Syria, but what does the collapse of the Assad regime really mean? Leo Hohmann warns that, far from democracy, Syria could face the imposition of Sharia law and a new wave of refugees. Behind this offensive, planned by the CIA and Turkey, is the interest of weakening Russia and Iran. But what have we achieved?

The Assad regime, though authoritarian, protected religious minorities, including Christians. Now, under a possible Sunni government, there are fears of persecution and violence against these communities. Even the rebels openly celebrate their victory and declare that their next target is Jerusalem.
