Lotsa talk about which country we're going to hit next. Various threads mention N. Korea, Syria, and Iran.
N. Korea has toned down its rhetoric and suggested that it may be open to multilateral talks.
Iran has significantly lowered its anti-US rhetoric.
Syria is frantically denying it has allowed senior Iraqi leaders refuge.
It strikes me as a little odd that if we were going to hit Syria or Iran in the near future that we'd be sending some of our aircraft carriers and troops back to the US mainland.
Perhaps there is no regional "Master Plan," that Bush's plan was to take out one component of the Axis of Evil and then evaluate the results before taking any more military action. Perhaps he thought a victory in Iraq would result in the Arab and Iranian street toppling its oppressive regimes there, as was the case in Eastern Europe in the 90's.
