The Arab World Reacts
The Taliban rejects President Bush's ultimatum and prepares for war.
Lebanon fears it will be targeted because of past attacks on American
interests. Yemen fears reprisal for the USS Cole attack. Iran has softened
its dialogue towards the United States, while Iraq remains defiant.
Along with the rest of the world, the Middle East is digesting last night's
presidential speech. Samina Ahmed, a Middle East specialist at Harvard,
says despite the Bush's efforts to reassure the Arab world, Muslims remain
apprehensive at the prospect of a prolonged U.S. involvement in the region.
