Aha ... Why did not they tell us that his wife also came at a funeral and could only see it all from a distance? When I asked my fiance about this -- with millions of boredom and obscurity -- he demurred only. You know it, silence is the sharpest language for me.

► Could Syria conflict become regional war?
[Mmmm ...this question is more appropriately answered by Israel. For two years Syria war only focus on the opposition forces who want to oust President Bashar al-Assad from power. But there are some other countries that support both warring parties. So far, Assad backed by security and intelligence forces from Iran. Hezbollah group in Lebanon also continue to show support for Assad. Meanwhile, the opposition parties supported by western countries such as Britain and the U.S. Some Arab countries such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar also give support to Syria. They are arming the Syrian opposition forces against the government forces. The condition gets worse when Israel launched an attack on Syria as last week on the pretext of targeting the delivery of weapons to Hezbollah. Israel do not do anything about the transfer of weapons to Hezbollah because Syria is a strong country. But when Syria is weakening, the condition is also changing. This condition makes war likely lead to a regional war involving the countries around Syria. Iran has warned Israel that Israel is playing with fire by doing attacks to Syria.]
