Ya Sham

If ever there was ever a time when you really the internet to be fast and free, it would be now.  I am desperate for live news updates on Syria, and the slowest-in-the-world, pay-per-hour internet is just not cutting it.  I've been watching al-Jazeera Arabic (and a few other Arabic networks) on the small tv I've rigged to work in my bedroom, but unfortunately the picture isn't clear and the newscasters speak so quickly that I only understand 70% of what is being said...

This does appear to be the beginning of the end of the Assad regime, but what comes next and when it comes is anyone's guess.  I have so many thoughts and emotions running through my mind, but mostly I just feel sadness for all those suffering, and for the destruction of the city that I love, and for the pain I know will linger long after anything is "resolved".
