If he attacked a safe zone established by a coalition then that would be his last act as a leader of Syria and most likely one of his last moves while breathing

There's plenty of land in Syria and a population about twice that of NYC. No need to scatter them out across the globe. 

To the bold, that depends. It's a generational issue. The further removed from your ancestors and the more you assimilate into a new culture, the less likely you are to be involved with "the homeland." That's not something that happens in a few decades, and it's easier if "the homeland" isn't just a few hours/few hundred miles away. For Syrians relocating to other parts of the Middle East, there's going to be a temptation to go back, maybe even take up arms, for years. For those moving to Canada, the US, Mexico or similar places, I wouldn't expect future generations to be as likely to head back to a way of life they never knew.

As far as the rest, he's gotten away with murdering innocent people for several years. I don't think a coalition from the people who let him would cause him to reconsider.
