Russia won't let you attack his best ally in the region. They have been way too tired by occident lies on Libya.
Syria is also not Libya, they actually have an army. Turkey is too weak to attack Syria alone and could face Iranian threats and PKK support by Syria.
The most likely outcome if Assad does not step down is that he will succeed in suppressing the revolt. He has already successfully stopped most of the protests. Now there are armed gangs vs him but they seem too weak and can't even defend a quarter more than one day.
This guerrilla thing looks like what happenned in the past in Syria with the army prevailing.
