Washington still considers Hizbullah a terrorist organization, despite the militant group taking part in Lebanon's new government of national unity, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Monday, adding nothing new to the Legion of Honor on the chests of Hizbullah fighters.
"Our policy is unchanged," Rice told reporters during a lightning visit to Beirut to shore up the new president and the formation of the new government in which the Hizbullah-led opposition will have veto power over key decisions.
"It is up to the Lebanese to choose the composition of their government," Rice said after meeting with parliament Speaker and opposition stalwart Nabih Berri.
"We hope that the composition of the government proceeds and proceeds rapidly," she added.
