That's what they wanted. Or at least 75% of them.
Realistically, there will be some fighting between rebel groups. Turkey is likely going to send some military units to battle the Kurds. Trump will pull out American troops. It's not our problem. They need to sort it out themselves.

Incorrect on all. Assad stood for elections and easily won. They were good elections and the opposition was never elected.
Turkey will go after the Kurds. And we will not pull out. We grabbed the oil rich NE corner for the Kurd separatists. There will be a lot of new fighting, massive Sunni Wahabbist repression, the eradication of the remaining Christians and Jews in Syria, and a whole new wave of Syrian refugees into the EU and America.
This is a very bad thing to any sane person. Only the CIA/Israelis and DC are happy.
