Rice urges ‘urgent and enduring’ Mideast peace

RAMALLAH, West Bank Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, in a frenetic set of meetings amid Israeli-Hezbollah fighting, declared Tuesday the United States wants an “urgent and enduring” peace where problems are solved without war.

She also Rice said, “We need to get to a sustainable peace, there must be a way for people to reconcile their differences.”

Earlier, meeting in Jerusalem with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, she said the time has come for a new Middle East. “I have no doubt there are those who wish to strangle a democratic and sovereign Lebanon in its crib,” Rice said. “We, of course, also urgently want to end the violence.”


At this point, a multi-national force is the sole altanative to this abyss the Middle East finds itself in, and the resultant consequences.
