Fouad Ajami proves prophetic:

Bashar Al-Assad, may insist that what happened in Iraq is no concern of his; but he knows better. The fate of Saddam is a crystal ball in which the rulers and the rogues in the region might glimpse the danger that attends them.

The first out of the gate is Moammar Gadhafi. I think Assad could save himself a bunch of trouble if he gets tough with his own Ba'athists and gets out of the WMD business. He may not have any, but he'd do better with his new neighbors if he shows that he is not harboring Saddamists.
