The problem in the Middle East is the denuclearization of Israel. That is what Syria was stating in this case in 2003.
The USA was USING THE EXCUSE of WMD to invade Iraq. We now know that was a ploy by the Bush/Cheney White House and it involved a cabal. Syria was worried the invasion into Iraq would not be the end of it. That is the part the world ignores. The American people do have a conscience and while that is limited in power in some ways they do not approve of rampant war for the sake of 'building an American/Christian safe environment." Basically, Americans aren't interested in owning the world. Other nations don't realize how profoundly sound the American opposition to war without end is contained in our culture.
Getting Israel to disarm from nuclear weapons is going to be very difficult. The Six Day War was never far away from reaching for Israel's nuclear capacity. It would require profound, sincere and lasting treaties. It is possible, but, difficult. Especially now when so many of the nations of North Africa is in flux to their leadership, their loyalty to old values and what the future indeed holds. It is basically meaningless at this point to ask all the nations of North Africa and the Mideast to come to a diplomatic table to resolve to what Syria was striving for within this declaration in 2003. The stability in the leadership in the region is too unpredictable to believe any treaty would be ratified by those same nations. The disarming of the Mideast and North Africa would have to be ratified before it would go into effect.
I am quite confident this is on the agenda of The State Department and the Obama Administration has repeatedly stated "There is no military solution," and there isn't. We all know any sincere war between nations in the Mideast and North Africa would result in loss of civilization.

Syria has asked the UN Security Council to help transform the Middle East into a "zone free of weapons of mass destruction".
Accused
by the United States of developing chemical weapons, Syria insists it
is not doing so but charges that Washington is ignoring Israel, which is
widely assumed to have nuclear weapons.Syria has circulated a draft resolution in the 15-nation Security Council, welcoming all initiatives to create a "zone free of weapons of mass destruction, in particular nuclear weapons".
But the US ambassador to the UN, John Negroponte, says Syria is jumping the gun.
"We think the focus at the moment is the search for WMD in Iraq," he said.
"Secondly, we are conerned about Syria's own WMD and obviously, if a council member or any member of the United Nations proposes a resolution for consideration, we are prepared to consider it, that doesn't mean to adopt it, embrace it or endorse it in any way, shape or form," Mr Negroponte said.
