Personally, I believe pressure should be brought to bear on both Syria
and Iran for their support of terrorists, not their WMD - IIRC Syria
hasn't even signed the CWC and yet is being lambasted for having
chemical weapons.

The fun thing is, Syrians have actually provided USA some intel about Al
Qaida: Al Qaida is ideological enemy of more-or-less socialist and secular
Arab governments, like Syria (and Iraq...).

"Axis of evil" is a product of imagination, countries generally associated
to it tend to have little or no common interests and goals and in some
cases, they were/are downright enemies. Each of them is a separate case.
Hence the question is not "should USA bomb Syria and Iran" but "what USA
should do to persuade Iranians" and "what USA should do to persuade Syrians"
[to see US point of view].

And it's fairly certain that "bomb them" is pretty down on the list...
