What is the best likely outcome in Syria?

[AngryAmish]

My bet is we launch a few cruise missiles and declare victory.

Assad and his people (Alawites)will not surrender, to the US, the UN or the rest of the population of Syria. They realize that surrender = genocide.

The rest of the Sunni population understand what happens when the government wins. Genocide. They will be punished to make sure they never try to overthrow the Alawite majority ever again.

So what is the best outcome? Separation? Syria for Alawites in the nicest but smaller parts then the Sunnis get the rest?

The civil war will grind on for a long time. Neither side can afford to lose.
