Hard to see how Syria could get itself in front of N. Korea, on the List. Maybe, if Hezbollah launches a bunch of rockets from Lebanon into Israel, and Sharon responds by re-occupying S. Lebanon (and bloodying the Syrian Army in the process), and the Syrians responded by funding/supporting/training every guerrilla group in Israeli-occupied Palestine and Lebanon.

I don't think regime change is much of an option in either Korea or Syria. Despite the rhetoric, military action against N. Korea is not going to happen any time soon. It would be very hard for the US to justify invading Syria in response to Syria's support for terrorists attacking Israel. Israel is not the 51st state of the US, strange though that notion might seem to some here.

There have been a number of reports that Saddam has shipped some of his CW and BW into Syria for safe-keeping from the inspectors. If Bashar Assad lets Hizbullah get their hands on any of it, he may jump right to the head of the queue. But I think it's the IDF who will do the shooting on that war, and Hizbullah who will start it.
