Bush Bans Lebanese, Syrians from Entering U.S.
| President George Bush Friday barred from entering the United States a number of Syrians and Lebanese figures accused of seeking to destabilize Lebanon’s government, the White House said. “This is a tool that the United States has to demonstrate to Syria our desire for them to stop meddling in Lebanon, to demonstrate to Syria and those who want to destabilize the democratically elected government of Lebanon, that we will continue to increase pressure until they suspend their activity,” said White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe. Johndroe said the ban is targeted at those “who have been involved or may be involved in the destabilization of the government of Lebanon.”(AFP) |
