    Yeah, I thought the same thing. Hopefully the rhetoric won't escalate the matter, but whoever said politicians were rational?

    My condolences to the family of the Greek pilot. Military pilots are almost always the best of a nation's sons and daughters and it always hurts when a brilliant light is extinguished prematurely.

    The politicians in both nations try to keep low profile. Now we will see. Some fishermen videoscope the all scene with camera, so we will see what happened soon.(We have conflicts everyday but now we have aircrash and death).

    Thank you jBirch.

    Both sides seem to be working to de-escalate the situation.

    I don't see any further negative impact likely to come out of this and it has a slight chance of prompting actual positive discussions.

    After all, both sides tried to down-scale their conflict after the quake some years ago, to bad if all that goodwill will go down the drain...

    Ill will of such long standing is not to be dispersed by a single event. And a great ill will it is, believe me. Not quite of Palestinian-Israeli dimensions, but almost.
