"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." Samuel Adams, (1722-1803)

Russia favors Hezbollah role in Lebanon politics
MOSCOW. March 11 (Interfax) - Russia wants the Hezbollah movement to make a contribution to Lebanon's political life, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said after talks with visiting Lebanese Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblatt on Friday. "The political role of Hezbollah should be taken into consideration in the interests of Lebanon and the Middle East as a whole," Lavrov said. UN Security Council Resolution 1559 "must be enforced. There is no room for half-measures to enforce its parts dealing with Hezbollah and the Palestinians," the minister said.
