Beirut - US President George W Bush may have to set aside his hostility to Syria if he wants its help in ending the war between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Syria has offered to play a constructive role, but there is no sign the Bush administration is ready to turn to a country it accuses of sponsoring terrorism and helping insurgents in Iraq - or to pay the price the Syrians would try to extract. Secretary of state Condoleezza Rice starts a mission to the region on Sunday, but will not talk directly to key players such as Syria, let alone Hezbollah or its founding patron Iran. Bush again criticised Damascus and Tehran on the eve of her trip, saying their actions "threaten the entire Middle East". The United States, willing for now to let Israel keep up its assault in Lebanon, says no ceasefire will last unless it is part of overall arrangements that will prevent Hezbollah from menacing Israel with rockets and cross-border attacks.

W Bush Jr as been ignoring Syria for ages, so why should Syria lesson at all to the bush administration, i wouldn't listen to lying bullshitters.

Bilal also said however that Syria, a chief supporter of the Hezbollah movement, backed an immediate ceasefire and was prepared for direct talks with the United States in an effort to solve the crisis.

Then count on war for two more years, cuz nothing will bring Syria to negotiate with Bush/Condi, they wouldn't risk Iran's retribution, and they enjoy the US and Israel in constant turmoil.

Assad and his foriegn minister have both offered to personally intervene IF there is an immediate halt to aggression from BOTH sides.

We all know that won't happen for a minimum of a week. Syria may show up at the diplomatic table, but won't cross Iranian interests, it's the only thing Syrians think keep them safe.
