Why doesn't Jordan attack Syria, then?

Probably because Syria's army outnumbers their by a factor of more than three-to-one (320K to 98K). The last time these two countries fought, back in the mid-1970's when Jordan was kicking the PLO out of their country, Jordan had the backing of the Israeli Air Force and was able to win easily. Whether Israel will back them this time is up in the air.
