Rice Warns Syria and Iran over Lebanon Protests
[AFP/Yahoo] U.S. Secretary of State Rice rejected calls to deal directly with Damascus and Tehran as part of efforts to end the crisis in Iraq and said the two states should have no doubts about Washington's commitment to the embattled government of Lebanon. "In no way is the U.S. going to get into a situation where it is even a conceivable notion on the part of Syria or Iran that the future of Lebanon would somehow be compromised for other interests of the U.S.," she said. "We understand who Lebanon's enemies are and those that are trying to bring down the Siniora government," Rice said.
