Assad was a difficult time too. The difference is stability. Syria has been fucked since 2011. At least now they can rebuild without an obvious dictator - the future will be finding someone who isn’t a dictator to take up power.
Israel, Turkey, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc all want to control Syria so some coalition of foreign tyrants will rule for a bit, but this is ultimately a better future than under Assad.
Rebuilding is just a scam the whole point of it is to drown the country in debts and allow multinational American companies to control the economy and ressources. Just like in Iraq
