Do you think that the US Embassy in Iraq is necessary?
Price tag: $600 million due to be completed June 2007. This is definitely an occupation with no intention of leaving ever. There will be six blocks with 619 one-bedroom apartments, a recreation building, a beauty parlour, gym, swimming pool and even its own school. A lavish “American Club†will provide a venue to relax in the evening and a site to host receptions for visiting dignitaries. It takes nearly five minutes to drive along just one side of its 104 acres, which will contain 21 buildings. The Iraqis are living in a bombed out country with intermittent clean water, electricity, and few schools and the USA has this place being built right under their noses. Why would we need anything of this magnitude; the size of the Vatican City, and this costly? What?? How can you compare any other countries embassy with this one being built in Iraq. We once again have been lied to. We were told we would not be OCCUPIERS and it is obvious that was the intent fro the moment Bush decided to go after a man "that tried to kill my Daddy".

America did not enter Iraq for seasonal vacations. They are there for good. Saddam and WBMs were hoax. They are killing thousands and accepting casualties in thousands. It has to be a deliberate and calculated venture. A nation has invaded another nation in this modern and free era with an aim to physically capture a country with its resources. Don't expect them to be back within a couple of years. Look at the pages of history and you will find how long such operations are stretched. Let' see how long the resistance prolongs and when does the American Public feel and tells their government that enough is enough let's come back. Therefore the infrastructure mentioned in question is very much in line with the present planning of US Administration and should not be a surprise for any one.

I don't think America should impose herself on Iraq or any other country for whatever reasons. The prize tag? tell me more!!! or.............. let's just talk about something else.

The Swiss embasies in other mid east countries are more lavish than this.
5 :
No. I think America inposses its will on to much territory, but for a good cause I suppose:Globalization? Decromacrocy? I think we sometimes go a little to far, out of proportion.

THE ONLY REASON THE EMBASSY IS NEEDED THERE IS BECAUSE OUR TROOPS ARE THERE,OTHERWISE THE GLAMOUROUS EMBASSY NEEDS TO FADE AND LET THE IRAQI'S DECIDE THEIR OWN FATE AND LIFESTYLE.NOT THE U.S. OR OSAMAMAMA DECISION.I BELIEVE THE IRAQ'S WERE ALSO IN LINE WHEN THE BRAINS WERE PASSED OUT.
