Bush Faces Uphill Battle Prodding EU on Hizballah
(Reuters) The Bush administration faces growing resistance within the EU to a crackdown on Hizballah following gains by the group in Lebanon's elections and the withdrawal of Syrian troops, diplomats and analysts said. After the U.S. and Europe presented a united front in pressing for Syria's withdrawal from Lebanon before elections and for all militias including Hizballah to be disarmed, differences have emerged over how to respond to Hizballah's big win at the ballot box in southern Lebanon and its possible role in a new government.
