I think attacking Syria and Iran are rather unlikely.  One strategic aspect of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is that Iran has been effectively surrounded by US forces and Syria is sandwiched btw US army and Israel.  Now it's a matter of employing the same tactics that defeated the Soviets after it was surrounded by Nato and US forces in Asia (Japan, S. Korea & Vietnam) in conjunction with baiting the Chinese to oppose Moscow in the 70's and 80's.  Simply put, massive American presence in the region will deter Iranian and Syrian aggression - thus stabilising the region.  The truth hurts losers.

Not that the US government pays any attention to its citizens' opinions, but this war frenzy is getting to be a joke on late night TV.  Jay Leno supposedly said, about the gridlock in Congress, "If the government shutdown occurs, there may be a freeze to all new wars in the Middle East." I suppose every cloud has a silver lining.

Most interesting. If US are behind unrest in Libya, and possibly Syria, then who but Moscow and Tehran are instigators of events in Egypt, Tunisia and Yemen?

Will someone please stop the world's serial killer - The United Hates of America?  Obviously We The People can't&nb sp;or won't do it. The Puppet Commander in Chief is out of control -  correct that:  those pulling the Commander in Chief's puppet strings are out of control.

Who, when and where to obtain what is difficult to predict.
Basis of everything is destabilize  destabilize and again destabilize. This is a proven method through Yugoslavia, Ost  Europe, Caucasus and now the Arab countries and so on.
For terrorists from the West - U.S., UK and other accomplices this is the best soil.
It is not  important how many people they kill. It may also be half of  the world - there is no problem.
As the U.S. has no respect for anyone and not feel self-endangering U.S. will continue to provoke and kill the rest of the world. U.S. & UK and other accomplices of the EU are the epitome of the devil in this world. That is true, such a world.
