If Syrians voted, would they reelect president Assad? Would they vote for the new military rulers?

Syrians elected Assad by a wide margin recently - would they do it again, only to be told 'no' by the militia?

Impossible to know. Any country that has been subject to regime change only get to have stage managed elections.

They can vote as long as they vote the way the bigger players want them to. Look at Egypt. They now have a US backed military dictatorship because they "voted wrong" when it was actually left up to Egyptians to vote for their leader.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow odd how polling them does not occur to the West.
@Roundandroundwego The west doesn't care what the people of Syria actually want.
