Syria lodged a complaint with the UN and ordered the closure of an American school and
cultural centre. I think we actually walked past them when we up near the Embassy. The
Assad government was demanding a formal apology from the US and threatened to cut
off cooperation on Iraqi border security. The Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Al-Moualem
called the attack an act of “terrorist aggression.”
It would have been an interesting experience for us to be wandering around Damascus
while this was going on because, after all, that is one of the reasons why one travels.
