I believe RY has done all he can for himself - registered, making calls to the State and embassy, made contact with the warden, made contacts with others in the same situation, has an in with the French evacuation, gathered a stash of supplies of food and water, attempted exits including by private boat, was wise enough to turn down the Syrians' invitation and certainly isn't whining like that idiot US priest that he can't wander willy nilly around the streets. That's a heck of a lot more than those Katrina ninnies did for themselves. What more do you suggest he do?
If he has in fact accomplished all that, what purpose then to carry on about how helpless he feels?
