Unless, of course, he dies a glorious death leading his men in battle.

Somehow I can't imagine Assad II leading troops in battle. He could die suddenly on a day he wasn't expecting to die...he's an Alawite in a Sunni-majority country, and some Sunnis enjoy blowing people up with car bombs...and there are plenty of people who could decide they must avenge a dead relative whose death they blame on Assad. Or he could just be the victim of an unfortunate road accident.
