Trekking through Lebanon to Syria is not exactly "terrorist" territory. I have not heard of Hezbollah or Israel targeting buses yet. Maybe I'm behind the curve on this one.
Trekking through Iraq for 9 hours may qualify as terrorist terrority but a bus trip to Damascus would not pose the same threat.
Just MHO of course, but if I'm in Beirut I head to nearest servicable airport. I guess they could wait on some tour bus system to get up and running for a more comfortable trip but I don't think so.
rebel_yell said they are not letting Americans across the boarder into Syria if they do get there.......
