No6. You are 100% correct. I knew many Syrians when I lived in Qatar. It's a relatively open country compared to the Gulf countries. Assad kept it secular, just like Moammar Ghaddafi in Libya. The Imperialist part of America, UK etc (the allies) got involved and thought to bring democracy to this area.
Russia although imperialistic in its own way, at least will help keep Syria afloat and secular. China and Saudi Arabia are the ones who need democracy. Yet the imperialists won't get involved there.
Syria will hopefully Come Out of this dark period more vibrant than before. russia coming in will be a good thing even though it means keeping Assad in power. Replacing him with a puppet president just like malaki in Iraq ( who made a big mess btw) is a better option at this moment.
Check out ( the Doha debates) on YouTube. There is a video on dictatorships in the Middle East...
