"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Russian firm signs 25-year energy deal with Syria- Los Angeles Times

AMMAN, Jordan -- The Syrian government has signed a joint development agreement with a Russian energy company to explore for oil in the Middle Eastern country's territorial waters off the Mediterranean coast, according to SANA, the Syrian state news agency.

The 25-year deal with SoyuzNefteGaz offers a badly needed source of cash to the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad and suggests that Russia has confidence in the regime's ability to survive Syria's civil war -- with or without Assad.
