[An Nahar] The March 14
Those are the good guys, insofar as Leb has good guys...
General Secretariat called on Hizbullah on Wednesday to place its military and security capabilities under the state's control in order to pave the way for national reconciliation.

It said in a statement after its weekly meeting that the party should also put an end to its hostile position towards the Special Tribunal for Leb and respect justice.

Once these matters are achieved, then a national salvation government would be formed.

On the government formation process, the general secretariat said that the March 8 forces
... the opposition to the Mar. 14th movement, consisting of Hizbullah and its allies, so-called in commemoration of their Mar. 8th, 2006 demonstration of strength in Beirut ...
's "confusion" has led to the failure to form a Cabinet.

"This failure is due to the impossibility of a coup project to overcome a camp that represents the political and popular majority in the country," it stressed,

"This impossibility stands in stark contrast with the changes in the Arab world," it continued.

"Saving Leb from this crisis can only be achieved through once again adhering to the state and its illusory sovereignty," it added.

Commenting on the revolts in the Arab world, the March 14 General Secretariat voiced its support and compassion to the Arab people, calling on Lebanese sides to carefully examine regional developments "and build policies that cater to the present and future in order to fortify Leb in this new phase."

, the statement noted: "His death demonstrates that freedom and democracy stand as an obstacle before terrorism and extremism given that his death came at a time of Arab democratic revolutions."
