We again need to keep in mind that this "War on Baghdad" is in fact a campaign in the overall War on Terrorism that pres Bush announced after 911 - a "mini-war" of sorts in the ongoing struggle. I feel there many be other "campaigns" after this. I am surely not the expert on these matters that most of you are but my feelings are that now that we have all the troops there & the US majority opinion supporting the idea of minimizing the chance of assults to us etc, we will be able to justify & find other places the next "take the War" ... first thought - Syria?

Agree totally -- I think both Syria and Iran have a serious case of the Jitters right now.

I heard on some cable news show speculation that US public wouldn't support another war front just now. I don't know how I feel about it. Part of me wants us to get our guys home, although I know we will certainly be a presence in Iraq for a long time.

The pragmatic part of me, says while we have the forces there, let's clean up where need be. But to just march into Syria?? I don't think we'll do that. Perhaps we will have "discussions" with the young king and will make him some offers he can't refuse.

Regardless, it's going to be fascinating to see what happens.
