Do you know who this guy is? We didn’t, either. But from the moment we crossed the border into Syria, we got a crash course. It is not possible to walk more than 20 feet without seeing a poster, picture, billboard, marble portrait, or car decal of President Bashar al-Assad of Syria.

FYI. The same type of “marketing” was true for King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein while we were in Jordan.
