We are not going to invade Syria, Iran, or North Korea unless there is some radical event to change the political climate. The political climate is just not right at the moment. Bush used the public outrage against 9-11 to rally support for an invasion of Iraq. But with over half the population thinking the invasion of Iraq may have been a mistake, Bush just does not have the political capital to go anywhere else.
I am not saying it was wrong to invade Iraq, nor would it be wrong to invade any of these countries. But unless there is some cataclysmic international political event, Bush just does not have the public support he would need to launch another invasion. In addition, we don't have a big enough military to occupy Iraq, let alone launch another invasion and conduct another occupation.
