Syria timeline: how the conflict has escalated - interactive

It has been exactly a year since I was in Damascus.  Toward the end of my stay there, I had an engagement in Jordan and I had a driver whose job was to make sure I got to the border in one piece.  As we approached the outskirts of Deraa, I asked if we could pull over and take a look around.  He got nervous and agitated and informed me that it would be a “really bad idea.”  I wonder what he knew that nobody else seemed to at that time?  God what a difference a year makes.
