What Do Syrians Want?

I've heard  and seen on TV enough to convince me that something must be done to alleviate the suffering of Syrians whether they are still living in Syria or have become refugees in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey or some other Arab country.

But what do Syrians want?  It  is clear Syria isn't going to give up its arsenal of chemical weaponry en toto.  The plight of all Syrians is dire, because of political unrest. Do Syrians want a in change in government?  If so, who will represent their interests?

 I believe a cease-fire moritorium should declared by the U.N. and the interests and will of the Syrians whether in the country or in some nearby country should be ascertained. Could there be a referendum, as is being proposed for the eastern regions of the Ukraine?
