THE question puzzles and enrages a city: how is it that the Americans cannot keep the electricity running in Baghdad for more than a couple of hours a day, yet still manage to build themselves the biggest embassy on Earth? http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-2162249,00.html Wow. :no3:
Pretty damn ridiculous, unfortunately the 15 ft thick wall will prevent suicide bombers from destroying it.

I think it's quite obvious why we need an embassy in Iraq, especially one that is highly secure. I have to admit that it's embarassing that it is the only thing on schedule but a US embassy in Iraq is needed. If we are going to be active in Iraq for many, many years we will need am embassy where our politicans can be safe.
