I would imagine that before this all ends Syria will openly shoot itself in the foot and all hell will break loose - for a day or two - it shouldn't take any longer than a couple of days. Syria is still the biggest roadblock to settling the issues in Iraq - they are still (alledgedly) pproviding a safe have for Saddam's money if not Saddam himself.
France - maybe just because they haven't had their butt kicked in a long time and they're used to it happening on a regular basis. I can give a lot more reasons for jumping France than were given in the "clobber the US" posts.
