US condemns Hezbollah ‘intimidation’ in Lebanon
(AFP) – The United States accused Hezbollah on Tuesday of using intimidation to gain government control in Lebanon and vowed that the work of the UN-backed Hariri tribunal would continue regardless.
“The make-up of Lebanon?s government is a Lebanese decision, but this decision should not be reached through coercion, intimidation and threats of violence,” State Department spokesman Philip Crowley said in a statement.
“Unfortunately, Hezbollah, backed by Syria, engaged in all three in pursuit of its political goals.”

Alabama authors/writers are some of the most talented in the world. Being an Alabama native I personally look for home grown works from our own talent pool. If you haven’t looked into works from our authors you owe it to yourself to give it a fresh look.
