After Iraq will the US attack Syria next?

Quote:

The US has no objection to the crimes of Syria’s rulers. That is not why Bush is threatening war. It is because Syria is opposed to a peace deal with Israel, offers verbal support to Hamas in Palestine and to Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Of course Syrial is not opposed to a peace deal with Israel, nor is Israel opposed to a peace deal with Syria either; the question is about the terms of the peace: Where will the border be drawn? Will it follow the pre-1967 border? Will it be based on the 1923 agreement between Britain - then ruler of Palestine - and France - then ruler or Syria - or will the border be drawn at Israel´s will, so that all the major water resources in the border region will be left to it´s side of the border?
