you seem to be implying this happened because of the u.s's involement in iraq and it was soley done for the sake of democracy, both inaccurate. it'd be fairer to say if the protests were influenced by anything it would be the peaceful protests in the ukraine. and they are being staged less for democracy and more for national soveriegnty.

you also seem to imply the syrian backed goverment resigned due to some fear of u.s involvement, fear of a civil war would be alot more accurate.
I couldn't have said it better myself
