Bush on Hezbollah
In the March 16 story, “Bush Sees Hezbollah in Politics,” the president was asked if he would support a political role for Hezbollah, a group tied to the 1983 bombing at a Marine barracks in Beirut that killed 241 Americans. He told reporters: “We view Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, and I would hope that Hezbollah would prove that they’re not by laying down arms and not threatening peace.” Whose side is he on?
