Yes.. it will be contained (hopefully) because nobody sane wants the Syrian civil war to spread to Iraq and other countries (Lebanon, Turkey etc). If you think I was suggesting that Assad was going to remain in power, you were wrong. The issue is much bigger than some government falling,
However, there is now a real possibility of much nastier civil war in Syria. It might take a few weeks to few months to start, but remember that modern Syria is an artificial nation made up by allied powers after WW1. It contains 4-5 groups who don't like each other and that is not going to change anytime soon.
