US and French embassies?

I have received Tunisian calls for demonstrations against the French and US embassies in Tunis.  Hundreds of prisoners have been released.  News of mass arrests of relatives of Bin `Ali.  Obviously, the new government/army may lose more control as this crisis unfolds.  In other news, Jeffrey Feltman announced that Israel and Saudi Arabia are the only true democracies in the Middle East.
