Syria Planet [RSS feed] exposes the posts of 113 Syrian bloggers through one aggregate feed. Nice way to keep up with that very important part of the world and there are some really great bloggers. For instance, I found this from In the Axis:

Imagine losing out on a promotion because you attended a Presbyterian church, or not being able to find a job because your name marked you as a follower of Martin Luther. Imagine that thousands of America’s Protestant clergy had been exiled, killed, or placed under house arrest for nearly thirty years. Imagine that army tanks rolled through Nashville with signs saying, “No Protestants after today!” en route to slaughtering hundreds of them cowering in their churches. Would you be able to patiently sit and wait for a better day? That was life for Shiites under Saddam and his client Sunni community.

Or a post from Syria News Wire about determining who the Shebaa Farms belong to: Syria or Lebanon. It’s important because Israel is currently occupying that bit of real estate. If it’s Lebanese then Israel must withdraw as required by the U.N. If it’s Syrian they can stay.
