Only U.S. can help us, says Lebanese Foreign Minister

Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib says U.S. intervention is vital to help solve the current conflict with Israel, saying almost half a million of his people had been displaced.

The fighting has raised fears of a protracted war that could suck in the U.S., Israel's close ally, and Iran - especially if Israel launches, and gets bogged down in, a ground offensive in southern Lebanon.
