Bush aims for rapid Lebanon force
An international force must be quickly despatched to Lebanon, US President George W Bush has said.
After talks in Washington with UK Prime Minister Tony Blair today, Bush said the two countries' goal was to achieve a 'lasting peace' in the region.
But neither called for an immediate ceasefire. The US secretary of state is returning to the region on Saturday. the UN has called for a 72-hour truce in the conflict zone to allow humanitarian aid in and to get casualties out.
