maybe it does after-all they probably wont fight each other now. anyway fat chance syria will actually honor that agreement if iran is atacked.
I take it you are suggesting the old iraq strategy. Kiss and make up with iran syria and nth korea and do whatever it takes to be their friend regardless of what they do or what governments they have no sanctions particularly no weapons sanctions (otherwise you will still look bad compared to the other countries). If they decide to kill anyone the it wont be americans and it won't get on the news.
Besides - the americans could respond to such an eventuality by saying "serves you right for not helping us out before!".
