Most research has been conducted on the American strategy in Relation to transition to democracy in West Asia Stressed that the country was in strategic Dilemma. In the sense the Obama administration has sought to democratize and protect human rights and, on the other hand, it has been afraid of losing its strategic interests in the region. Such considerations have led to incongruous actions by the country. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to test the validity of these two hypotheses. So, the question arises what is US strategy in both Syria and Bahrain towards the democratization process? Following the events Syria and Bahrain after 2011, the hypothesis is that the US foreign policy is specified which we call it strategic balance. We believe maintaining a strategic balance by preventing the collapse of the balance of regional forces has been a top priority for US foreign policy. Democratization and protection of human rights From the United States are being applied in line with the strategic balance policy.
