They got a few homes on 9/11.

I doubt you're advocating armed intervention into Iran and Syria, as we did in Iraq

I am not "advocating" - I have no advice - but it would surprise me more if we did not come to blows on those fronts, than if we did. The tone of the warnings to Damascus and Tehran is getting much sharper:

From debka:

France, Britain and Germany draft a UN nuclear resolution rebuking Iran for failure to cooperate fully with international inspections, and demanding Tehran halt uranium conversion and construction of heavy water facility for bomb-grade plutonium production.

DEBKAfile reveals that the new tough approach on Iran’s clandestine nuclear weapons program emerged this week from Bush-Schroeder-Chirac-Blair consultation.

Last week’s DEBKA-Net-Weekly exposed the latest trick of concealment Iran staged for the benefit of UN inspectors: five nuclear sites dismantled and spirited away

and

DEBKAfile’s Middle East sources report sharply-worded US warning Wednesday to Syria and Lebanon to rein in the Hizballah without delay - or else matters would go very badly for them. The note reproved the two governments for showing forbearance and sympathy for Hizballah attacks on Israel.

but 250 million Arabs are not about to march across the Atlantic Ocean and into our homes.

No, they're marching into Europe instaead, in large numbers. They will go somewhere, the demographics and lack of employment at home spell it out.
