you are correct Syria is under sanctions currently. as for Jordon I agree that we (Diplomatically speaking) consider it a friendly nation. My concern with Jordon is how much control do they have of the radicals in their population and do they care to control the radicals or give them a short lease.

I have not heard strong condemnations of the recent attacks by either government. I am beginning to believe that their lack of commentary and condemnation of these attacks is silent acceptance.

I hope that I am wrong and that there are forces at work to stop these guys that took these shots. But I fear that we are going to see this more and more often around the world including here before things get better

I don't know...

The Jordanian King seems to be a good guy (especially if you are a Star Trek fan).

They may not be talking because they are searching...

that said Zarqawi is a Jordanian who has been on the run or in jail for something like 15 years or so
