Syrian government supporters smashed windows at the U.S. Embassy in Damascus on Monday, raised a Syrian flag and scrawled graffiti calling the American ambassador a "dog" in anger over the envoy's visit to an opposition stronghold, witnesses said.
French Embassy guards in the Syrian capital fired in the air to hold back loyalists of President Bashar Assad's regime who also attacked that compound to protest the French ambassador's visit last week to the same restive city, Hama, in central Syria. Protesters smashed embassy windows and shattered the windshield of a diplomatic SUV outside the compound. The French Foreign Ministry said three embassy workers were injured.
Ah yes, hit the local American embassy. Classic Iranian.
Recall also that Iran targeted Americans and French in Lebanon in the early 1980s.
Let's see if we sit and take it. And think we deserve it.
UPDATE: If our embassy ends up being taken over by a pro-government mob, you might want to notice two reasons. One, why do we even have an ambassador in Syria? And two, note that the French actually opened fire in defense of their embassy grounds.
