There are major flaws in the way this world Cup Qualification has taken place from AFC. North Korea has been denied despite coming Second in the toughest Group H. Due to suspension of Indonesia and then of Kuwait, results against last placed teams not considered. That is not the fault of North Korea. North Korea and Jordan were better and also played better then Syria, China, Iraq which went thru to next Round. Second placed team in a weak group or a suspended team will always have more points then second placed team in tough group. They should decide all the suspensions before making the groups rather then cut-paste at the end. All second placed teams should have gone to next round.
Home league but play outside syria. Syria played their home matches in Seeb, Oman. Afghanistan and Iraq also played in Tehran due to security situations. Most of their NT players are from Al-Wahda and Al-Jaish clubs. They are in AFC Cup but play at safe locations like Bahrain, Lebanon or Oman.

It's a shame we are clubbed with these countries, just compare the sizes, or populations, or economies ...
