Abstract: The political unrest in Syria is approaching its second year without any clear political position or ability to resolve the issue for either party, whether the opposition or the Syrian regime. This is due in large part to a number of reasons, the most important of which is the lack of clarity in the political vision and political program of the Syrian opposition, the lack of balance of power between the two parties, and the divergence of international positions towards events in general within the Syrian arena, which subsequently led to the conflict shifting from a peaceful nature influenced by what happened in the Arab arena, which was called the “Arab Spring,” to a military conflict that gradually moved to the Syrian street after the Syrian uprising was militarized. Consequently, the ruling regime was given a justification to use justified force based on the principle of “political-constitutional,” which is to violate regulations and laws and the institutional solution of the political system, which made the opposition, in the regime’s understanding, a group of outlaws who legally require military deterrence. This gave justification, on the other hand, to regional parties to condemn the Syrian position towards what is happening in the Syrian arena based on “legal” justifications (human rights) (refugee problem), despite the divergence of those positions. Regional, especially the Iraqi position, which, according to belief, remains the most rational position due to the overlap of what is happening on the Syrian scene and the lack of clarity of the opposition’s political vision and its division into currents (theocratic, leftist, rightist).
