Like many other Syrians, I was glued to the news since the beginning of the developments earlier this month. We all watched as the rebels took city after city which eventually led to the fall of the Al-Assad regime. Israel began bombing Syria almost immediately, with the clear intention of crippling its neighbour. But the fall of Bashar Al-Assad did not instantly transform Syria into a safe utopia. So will the West, with its calls for democracy, allow Syrians to enjoy the outcome of their decision?
