I have travelled in both Syria and jordan and IMHO both will remain safe to travellers.
When asked about the risks in either country my Arab friends there have almost felt insulted!!
Approx 2.5 years ago I travelled thru there when the US & UK were bombing Iraq and even the Iraqis we met were very friendly.
My advice on either of these countries would be to - "go and enjoy" - but do not give you opinions to anyone you don't know well.
Do be very careful if you are a US citizen!!!
Happy travels
