		Congress applauded Administration actions against Libya and Qadhafi, such as placing Libya on the terrorism list in 1979, launching the air attack against Libya in 1986, or supporting U.N.

		On December 2, 1979, a mob, apparently inspired by the Iranian seizure of the U.S. embassy in Teheran the month before, attacked and burned the U.S. embassy in Tripoli; no U.S. citizens were killed or injured.
		Poor Egyptian-Libyan relations and improving U.S.- Egyptian relations led to conjecture at the time that Egypt would act as the U.S. surrogate to attack and occupy Libya to end Qadhafi's support for terrorists and his meddling in other nations' affairs, but such conjecture was denied by Egypt and the United States.
