What if The Syrian civil war ended

Three years of fighing and less than 100,000 deaths in that ancient arabic country is worrisome. But what if it ended. The countries bordering Syria would love that, for it meant that refugees would stop coming. But what if there are other problems after the war besides rebuilding. Thousands of displaced refugees need to go somewhere stable. President Assad would have to consider setting up a transitional government for a few years. Cause what if some fundamentalists take power and put Syria in a government more repressive than the current one? What if it never ends?  It will have to end, otherwise it will fall into anarchy if the frequency of violence does not decline. If it declines. What if it does decline what then? Does it mean isolated attacks and shootouts will happen throughout the country. Will Assad step down after setting a path to eventual democracy? But civil wars and revolutions don't really bring much good to a country except death and destruction and and eventual instability since nothing else changes. What if the end of the civil war in Syria meant a victor and a vanquished? Would any problems be solved?
