text: mailing syria? i have a friend in syria that i am corresponding with through e-mails.  she has given me her postal adress.  i would like to perhaps send her things, little trinkets that might be a fun way to exchange culture.  but i dont know if this is allowed and i dont know if she will have problems with her government by receiving regular mail from the u.s?  anyone have any insight?  especially anyone living in an arab country? sure, send it without problems.
