Bashar is finished... and his regime is over.
What is required from all those entrenched in their visions, currents, or narrow corners is to promptly rub their eyes, sharpen their minds, and draw on local and global history to delve into experiences, understand their lessons well, examine them thoroughly, and emerge from the event with the best "Homs of Sham," while diligently answering the following questions:
- How? And when? Will all these factions (similar and conflicting) have an equitable and effective democratic governance system (shura-democracy) that is transparent?
- Will we soon be shocked by someone telling us that democracy is a heresy and that the People's Assembly is "the devil's dome" because there is no legislator but God?!
- Are these groups and currents capable of providing the necessary personnel for administration, security, services, and other aspects of life, sufficiently to prevent public discontent, halt life, and stop production?
- What will these factions do on the global stage, and how will they interact with others (hand in hand) instead of working through direct or indirect proxies?!
-
What political motivations does this opposition have, considering the contradicting neighboring countries and the adversary that is sectarian and political?
- What is the detailed agenda of this opposition regarding women, and the ideological and political other?
- What is the detailed economic system they will engage with, both locally and internationally?!
- How will these factions manage all activities related to arts and literature in all their details, components, and personnel, locally and internationally?
- How will they build the rough state apparatus, which is the lifeblood of any state (the army, police, intelligence, and national security agencies (internally and externally))?
- How will the opposition manage aviation, naval affairs, foreign relations, judiciary, and tourism?!
- What if "Israel" risks striking this nascent experience and undermining it prematurely?
Do these questions, and dozens, even hundreds like them, need to have their answers ready before the movement starts at all? Should the administrative and rotational movement be fully present with details and abundant alternatives, and the specifics be comprehensible, producing hundreds of men and women in state and administrative roles?
What if any involuntary or fabricated political vacuum occurs due to the conflicts of interests among the labor force in the Syrian field?
How flexible and fit are the influential individuals in this "opposition cocktail"?
And how will the transitional phase be navigated at all levels?
O Allah, unite the affairs of the beloved people of Syria, guide them to righteousness, and grant them and the people of Palestine relief and an exit.
