Really depressing looking through these. What was a very prosperous country now looks like a building site. I am so terribly sorry to be from 1 of the countries that caused this. We should have left well alone instead of all the time thinking we know better.

It wasn't just about democracy, though it they'd had political power it would have helped. It was about saving people from being tortured, raped, jailed without trial and starved to death. Was it worth it to fight that? Yes. And they might have won if other (mostly Western) countries hadn't interfered.

Unlike the similar appearance of towns in Germany and Japan after WW2, the destruction here was not the purpose, generally. The destruction was a side-effect of people wanting to defend themselves, their wives, and their children from a dangerous and oppressive regime. And the answering military power, backed up by foreign arms supplies.

Men are attempting to secure a future for their women and children, like always. Sometimes, that means one has to stand up to aggressors. Unfortunately, the aggressors had international backing in military hardware.

Yes, I had not realised how wealthy the country was, though the 'old' pictures don't show the beggars who were in the back streets, or the poverty that Assad had caused among many of the rural population.
