The United States has condemned Hezbollah vigorously for quitting Lebanon's pro-Western government and causing it to collapse. A White House statement promises to help Lebanon peacefully reconstitute a government.
National Security Adviser Tom Donilon said Friday that Hezbollah's intentions have been "laid bare." He said the Shiite militant group would have a hard time presenting itself as a "righteous resistance organization" if it continues trying to undermine "international efforts to find the truth." (AP)
