The trouble is that in Syria, Assad's clan heads the army and the regime that started from his father's time is heavily learned in the arts of control, propaganda, manipulation, and terror. Syrians try to peacefully improve their political, social, and economic rights; nor can they get rid of the Assad family, since the sources of power (the army, the internet security forces, Mukhabarat, Shabiha militias) are all very much tied to the regime.
The point is that the Syrians need help, and Assad will exploit any tool, any individual, or any event to maintain absolute control. As long as he's in control, as long as his army rampages with impunity, Syria loses.
The man who caused this disaster? The man who turned Syria into a disaster zone? Do NOT think you can control this mass murderer, he is in Russia and Iran's back pocket. His army is exhausted and weary, so he relies heavily on Hezbollah and (until recently) recruits from Iraq.
