"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

The Lebanese (Syrian) President (Puppet) Emile Lahoud says, in response to cross-border attacks into Israel that Wahington must "look at the situation with objectivity and realism, and not to be affected by Israelis who present the Lebanese resistance in Shebaa Farms as terrorist acts".

I wonder what 'realism' Mr Lahoud means. The one that by the terms of the UN brokered peace states that in return for Israeli withdrawal from Southern Lebanon (an area not which is expressly not inclusive of Shebaa Farms, which is considered part of Syria) all incursions and cross border violence would be brought to a halt? The objective observation tha Israel has abided by the terms of the deal while Kassam rockets, snipers and Hizbollah cross border incursions (under the uncaring eye of the UN) continue with no moves by the Lebanese/Syrians to end it?
