Iceland doesn't have anything to say about events in Syria, Their biggest concern seems to be a pooping tourist. Reminds me of the carefree days of my youth. The local paper was full of farming stories. Come to think of it, the paper is still reporting farm news.

Pooping tourist "Mainly broke manner rules." says local police
He first and foremost broke normal manner rules," says Selfoss chief of police Oddur Árnason with regards to the tourist who went to the toilet in the driveway of a local farm, right next to the postbox.
Asked by our sister publication mbl.is whether the man had committed an offence, according to the law he says that most likely the tourist was breaking the 17th article in Icelandic nature protection laws, where it states that people travelling around Iceland should show respect to landowners and follow their rules and regulations when traversing their land. The law also state that people should not leave waste or garbage behind at a picnic stop or camping site.
These sort of cases are not reported regularly to the police. "I've heard of this kind of thing but it's very rare that they end up on our desk," says Árnason.
The rest here.
