TRIPOLI, Libya – Angry mobs attacked Western embassies and a U.N. office in Tripoli Sunday after NATO bombed Moammar Gadhafi's family compound in an attack officials said killed the leader's second youngest son and three grandchildren, ages six months to two years.
Russia said the Western alliance exceeded its U.N. mandate of protecting Libyan civilians with the strike.
The vandalized embassies were empty and nobody was reported injured, but the attacks heightened tensions between the Libyan regime and Western powers, prompting the United Nations to pull its international staff out of the capital.

And this is why it's a mistake to act like western countries have the same interests as the people in these majority Muslim countries. Give these Libyans what they want: Gadhafi. Maybe they'll be mature enough to fight for their own freedom sometime next century. And next time when they bitch about our oil deals with Gadhafi we can play these clips for them.

Tripoli is under strict Gadhafi control. The dude buses in "supporters" for his press photo-ops or tours. Sure he can also get people to burn western symbols in the city he controls with an iron fist.
