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.

War is a last resort always. We have several other routes to try.

We have to go back to Congress in any case. Nothing much will haphen here until after the '04 elections. We will deal with Korea via pressure from China, and it might be the case that we have to undertake some sort of preemptive strike. After the elections it will be Iran, not Syria, if you ask me. If Syria or Iran do something stupid, then all bets are off. We will no doubt try to assist any internal revolution in Iran. We will be a presence in Iraq for years.
