Solution? Destroy both countries.
The Bekaa Valley will one day be known as the Middle Easts WMD storage facility.
Syria should be first, really.
1. More vulnerable internally.
2. Weaker miltarily
3. Smaller
4. Poorer
5. We have them effectively surrounded, counting Israel.
6. Easier to make the case, given how they funnel terrorists into Iraq.
Iran would be more difficult to occupy, as well, unless we use the new Iraqi army we build up in a few years.
