U.S. Embassy Set On Fire

As evidenced by this next story, the United States recognition of Kosovo's independence has led to violence directed at our embassy in Belgrade:

BELGRADE, Serbia - Serb rioters set fire to an office inside the U.S. Embassy Thursday and police clashed with protesters outside other embassy buildings after a large demonstration against Kosovo's declaration of independence.

Masked attackers broke into the U.S. compound, which has been closed this week, and tried to throw furniture from an office. They set fire to the office and flames shot up the side of the building. It took police about 45 minutes to appear at the scene, and firefighters arrived about the same time and put out the blaze. Police secured the U.S. Embassy and surrounding area, blocking off all access.

This is probably just the beginning of attacks against "American" assets overseas, and it will probably spill over onto the European Union countries, that also recognize an independent Kosovo!
