That's right, there will be no war against Syria until Dubya has had a chance to learn the name of the president. This may take some time. He is still exhausted from the effort of learning the name of "the General" in charge of Pakistan after it became a necessity after 9/11. And when Spain wanted to join the gang in the current war, it took a bit of work to get him to remember that their leader is called Aznar, not Anzar as he had been calling him up till then. And he certainly won't attack N Korea until he has ironed out the "nuclear/nucular" problem. So they are pretty safe...
I think there probably will be a war against Syria, if they don't start cowtowing to the US. But it will wait until after the election, so as it doesn't seem to have been done without indecent haste.
