Spy...*
"Hezbollah's security apparatus detained Shawraba, who is a collaborator in its ranks,". He had been working with Israel's Mossad intelligence service since 2007, the source said.
Shawraba was in charge of Hezbollah "unit 901", which coordinates the group's foreign operations. He lived in Hezbollah's south Beirut stronghold but travelled frequently, said the source, adding that Israel's spy agency recruited him during a trip abroad.
"This member sabotaged some five security operations that Hezbollah had been planning abroad against Israeli-linked interests," to avenge the killing of its top military commander Imad Mughniyeh, who was assassinated in a 2008 car bomb attack in Damascus which the Shiite group blamed on Israel.
Hezbollah has rarely been infiltrated by foreign intelligence agencies.
In 2012, the group arrested an official in its missiles unit named Abu Trab, who was accused of providing Israel with information about the locations of Hezbollah's rockets in southern Lebanon during a month-long 2006 war.
Peace is worth a lot. Let us try it sometime.

Sunglasses...
"Sunglasses at Night" is a song by Canadian singer Corey Hart. It was released in January 1984 as the first single from his debut album, 1984's First Offense, and became a hit single in the United States, rising to number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 1984.
The song combines an unflagging synthesizer hook, characteristic arpeggio, rock guitar and cryptic lyrics. AllMusic has since described it as "an instant classic with its distinctive melody and catchy chorus.
According to co-producer Phil Chapman, the recording sessions for the album took place in a studio whose air conditioning/heating vents were directly above the mixing console. Air from the vents blew directly into the faces of the control room personnel, so they often wore sunglasses in order to protect their eyes. Hart, working on a new song, began to improvise lyrics that included the line "I wear my sunglasses at night."
Assurance...
China's foreign minister welcomed comments by U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson offering reassurance to North Korea that Washington isn't seeking regime change there.
Tillerson said that the United States does not seek a collapse of the North Korean regime or an accelerated reunification of the Korean Peninsula.
Wang said China hopes all sides could "meet each other half way to find a fundamental plan to resolve the security concerns of the parties through equal dialogue."
Tillerson also continued to push for Chinese help in keeping pressure on North Korea because of their special economic relationship.
US desire to change regime caused destructions of countries like Iraq, Syria, Libya recently, and may have set other countries back generation. So let us keep our desires to ourselves.
