Before dispatching Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to the region, Bush initiated a series of phone calls from Air Force One and the Oval Office to leaders around the region.

And the longer Israel and Hizballah keep up their skirmish, the greater the chances it will spread out of control...
...said to exist in this conflict - such denunciations of an Israeli attack would have flowed from around the world. But Hizballah moved that story away from the headlines and instead drew the brunt of international criticism, most vocally from western governments and the U.N.; U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, in Paris for talks on Iran, issued a statement calling on Syria to use its influence to help resolve the incident peacefully...
