Props to Chris Bowman
"Leaving
In an hour or two I'm heading to Syria. A Syrian American friend of mine is going to his family's place in Homs, and I figured it would be better to have someone who speaks Arabic with me than not. From there I'll hopefully get to Damascus, then Cairo. Off I go.

Update
The Israelis bombed the Damascus road, so that way out is gone. I've also heard that the Syrians aren't giving out visas at the border, which is obviously a problem. Lebanese residents (which I am) usually have no problem. I'm not sure if I want to try the northern route to Aleppo and end up getting turned back at the border. I'll probably make a decision this afternoon."
Way to handle this situation Chris, stay safe, and get your ass to DC or Poland so we can chat, and of course party.
