Will Syrians bring down al-Assad?

The White House and UK Foreign Secretary William Hague have called upon the Syrian authorities to exercise restraint, after news of today being the bloodiest protest in Syria as Syrian security forces reportedly fired live ammunition and tear gas at the protesters in Homs, killing at least 90 people.

This has been interpreted as giving security forces the power to crack down on protests if they are deemed to threaten President Assad's rule.
