    Barak Barfi

    External factors surely contributed to the Syrian regime’s vulnerability in the face of a new rebel advance. But the primary cause of President Bashar al-Assad’s downfall is that he presided over a disintegrating social contract, enabling his enemies to forge new coalitions organized around meeting the everyday needs of Syria’s people.

    explains why Bashar al-Assad’s government collapsed so quickly, placing most of the blame on Assad himself.

    agrees with Iran’s former vice president that the Syrian regime’s collapse will transform the Middle East.
