It looks as though we now have troops in Jordan. There are 150 deployed at the present time, primarily involved with logistics. But there have been border clashes between Syrian and Jordanian troops. These clashes have not reached the level of the Syria-Turkey battles. But who knows what will happen. I guess that's the reason why we're there. What the average Jordanian thinks of this is not known.
Syria seems to be the most problematic of the Arab Spring uprisings. It remains to be seen whether the governments resulting from the uprisings across the Middle East will be better for the people in the long run. I would imagine one response to my speculation is, "It can't be worse".
