PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Saad al-Hariri ? BEIRUT (Reuters) - Lebanonâs Shiâite Hezbollah group on Sunday accused Saudi Arabia of forcing  Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri  to quit  and called for calm in an effort to contain the political crisis unleashed by  his  resignation.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah  the leader of Iran-backed Hezbollah  said there should be no political escalation in response to  Hariri âs declaration on Saturday  which was made from Saudi Arabia and came as surprise even to his aides.
 Hariri   in a televised speech  said there was a plot to kill him  and accused Hezbollah and its Iranian backers of sowing strife in the Arab world.
Nasrallah said âlegitimate questionsâ were being asked over whether  Hariri  had been detained in Saudi Arabia  where news emerged on Sunday that royals  ministers and investors had been arrested in an anti-corruption purge.
Speaking in a televised address  Nasrallah said: âThe resignation was a Saudi decision dictated to  Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri  and was forced on  him .â
Nasrallah said Lebanonâs political leaders expected  Hariri  to return to Lebanon on Thursday âif  he  is allowedâ to travel.
Sunni Muslim Saudi Arabia  a political ally of  Hariri   is locked in a bitter tussle for power across the Middle East with Shiâite Iran and its allies  including Hezbollah.
Lebanese President Michel Aoun will not accept  Hariri âs resignation until  he  returns to Lebanon to explain his reasons  palace sources said on Sunday  delaying for now the politically difficult consultations over his successor.
Nasrallah said he would not comment on accusations leveled against Hezbollah by  Hariri   describing his resignation announcement as a Saudi statement.
 Hariri âs resignation toppled a coalition government that included Hezbollah  thrusting Lebanon back into the frontline of the Saudi-Iranian regional rivalry and risking an open-ended political crisis.
Nasrallah said he had thought things were going well and had not wanted  Hariri  to quit.
 Hariri  allies in Lebanon have denied suggestions he had been detained and a photograph was published on his Twitter account showing him with Saudi Arabiaâs newly appointed ambassador to Lebanon  Walid al-Yaaqoub.
News of high-level arrests in Saudi Arabia fueled social media speculation in Lebanon that Hariri  a Saudi national  was a target. Nasrallah said âthere was legitimate concernâ  asking if  Hariri  had anything to do âwith this internal struggle between the princesâ.
Saudi-owned newspaper Asharq al-Awsat cited unnamed sources close to  Hariri  as speculating that  he  would probably remain outside Lebanon because of the security threat against  him .
In Lebanonâs sectarian system the president must be a Maronite Catholic  the prime minister a Sunni and the speaker of parliament a Shiâite.  Hariri  is Lebanonâs most influential Sunni politician.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity George W Bush ? "Bush wanted to do the right thing by fulfilling this humanitarian impulse ," says Chow . 
In so doing , Chow contends , Bush paved the way for an era in which global health assistance has become a prominent new instrument of U.S. statecraft . 
By contrast , only a few Americans have ever heard of PEPFAR , the U.S. President 's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief , which President Bush announced in his State of the Union address in 2003 . 
The name might surprise you : it 's George W. Bush . 
That 's partly because the United States has done very little to publicize the success of PEPFAR , and partly because the Bush presidency was overshadowed by much more high-profile aspects of his foreign policy -LRB- such as the invasion of Iraq -RRB- . 
Indeed , Bush still enjoys high popularity ratings in Africa , where he 's widely regarded as one of the continent 's great benefactors . 
At the same time , I think it 's a tragedy that the foreign policy shortcomings of the Bush administration have conspired to obscure his most positive legacy -- not least because it saved so many lives , but because there 's so much that Americans and the rest of the world can learn from it . 
"Bush did more to stop AIDS and more to help Africa than any president before or since ," says New York Times correspondent Peter Baker , who 's writing a history of the Bush-Cheney White House that 's due to appear in October . 
If it were n't for Iraq , it would be one of the main things history would remember about Bush , and it still should be part of any accounting of his presidency ." 
In his 2003 speech , President Bush called upon Congress to sponsor an ambitious program to supply antiretroviral drugs and other treatments to HIV sufferers in Africa .

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Addison Russell ? Photos of Cubs shortstop Addison Russell.
For now  there are no plans to move  Russell  from shortstop despite an occasional rash of throwing errors on routine plays.
 Russell  is only 23 and continues to show glimpses of becoming a bona fide run-producing shortstop with the power  he  displayed in 2016.  His  talents and agent could help command a frontline starting pitcher.  Russell  is arbitration eligible this offseason for the first time and wonât be eligible for free agency until after 2021 season.
 Russell  returned from a foot injury in mid-September without any issues  leaving a pending divorce as the only concern from interested teams. Russellâs batting average sank from .281 in late April to .209 in early June  when his domestic struggles surfaced  but he rallied suffciently to finish the season at .239.
If  Russell  is dealt  Baez can move to shortstop â  his  natural position â with Happ and/or Zobrist taking over at second.
Baez  24  was a defensive savior â especially when he took over at shortstop after  Russell  was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Baez didnât commit an error in 26 consecutive games at shortstop while making routine and tough plays with ease.
If a trade decision boils down to  Russell  or Baez  it could be a matter of taking either a more dependable approach at the plate ( Russell ) or the dazzling defender who can make the backhanded stop and strong throw to first base (Baez).

SOLUTION:
Positive
