I really think that North Korea can be handled diplomatically. North Korea is just flexing a bit of it's nuclear muscle in a game of global blackmail, and to increase the morale of its suffering citizens. A little pressure from China and the rest of the world will hopefully make them drop their guns.
If we have to go in, I'm afraid it would end in nuclear disaster, so the best we can do here is hope that N Korea has the sense to shape up. The ball is basically in their court.

why are we interested in Syria? Is it just convient since we are already in the area or what?

From what I have understood from the quick skimming of the news I've been doing lately, Syria is suspected to be harboring top Baath Party officials. They also were supplying night vision goggles or something to the Republican guard troops.
I haven't heard any officials say that we are even threatening force with them, as far as I can tell it is only inferred by people for whom it is convenient to their views to see America as "looking for a fight".
