It seems that it took 2 days for a new militia group to rise up and topple Assad’s government. I assume that there are foreign supported militias by the US, Israel and Russia, and of course Russia is strangling out Ukraine which takes up more of its time.

They're not new. They're the remnants of al-Nusra.
Hezbollah was propping up Assad, and Israel gutted them to the point that they couldn't keep wasting resources in Syria.
The rebels noticed this, started pushing, and never ran into serious resistance.
Assad also didn't help the situation, by letting his army revert to peacetime levels of corruption. The Russians didnt help the situation by using their Syrian contingent as a parking ground for retarded command staff (so that they stay out of the way of more important things going on in Ukraine). Of all the states that lost here, only Iran maybe didnt deserve it as much as the others. The kurds came out pretty much unscathed, which i guess is not unexpected because they didnt actually let their army rot(and being a sort-of-US-proxy probably also helped)
