Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice successfully opposed the idea at a meeting of senior American officials on Oct. 1. Rice reportedly argued that diplomatic isolation was a more effective approach, with a UN report pending that may blame Syria for the assassination of former Lebanese premier Rafiq Hariri.
