Syria is a threat to the US says Bush

'Bush extended a ban on Thursday on certain U.S. imports to Syria and other sanctions imposed last May. He said the Arab country was a threat to the United States.' I still can't figure how what kind of threat we are to the US. I thought North Korea was more of threat ..Well we don't have the economy, the arms or the power to be a threat ..come on Bush ...this is tooooooo much, You're giving people like me a superpower status all of a sudden !
