Has our adventure in Iraq made Syria more of a problem or less of a problem?

Here are some fairly recent comments from Lugar on the subject:

Syria supports terrorism, and has for decades. Syria has a WMD program. Syria accomodated Saddam. Why the dems aren't jumping all over this slam-dunk of an issue is beyond me.

redfish, Yeah, they're brutal, but they are also poor. No oil to steal. We'll let Israel take them out. Those non-oil countries can fight each other.

The Syrian regime is brutal, it leveled entire city blocks to put down opponents.

The U.S. does the same. Did you miss "shock & awe"?

I believe you are referring to Syria's battle against Islamist terrorists in Hama. Am I correct that this is what you are referring to?
