What will become of Bashar al-Assad?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

We had such a poll for Gaddafi about a year ago.

In descending order of likeliness:

4
5
6
2
1
3

4
6
5 (which will result in 6)
1
3

2 (impossible unless Turkey steps in to guarantee a rump Alawite state for Assad to govern as part of a peace deal, and that is so improbable as to be not worth worrying about)

Honestly? Option 1, as I don't see anyone influential enough in the international community willing to call for intervention and I seriously doubt the FSA can defeat the better trained and equipped Syrian Army on its own. Hoping for 4 though.

Don't forget that one possibility is an internal coup like happened in Egypt.  Probably too late now to succeed as well as Egypt's did in keeping Assad's cronies in power, but I think it is the most likely option for how he departs.
