A severe case of Cognitive dissonance in FP

"Most of the Syrian opposition agrees on a few basic principles: toppling the Assad regime, maintaining the national unity of Syria, and remaining committed to the peaceful nature of the Syrian revolution. But there are sharp disagreements over dialogue with the regime, foreign intervention, and the militarization of the opposition."  So let me get this straight, Randa.  The Syrian opposition (aside from talking about them as a monolith) agrees that the Syrian "revolution" is peaceful but they disagree on whether the movement should be armed???  Am I missing something here?
