Embassy Bagdad in Decline

Reader comment on item: Embassy Baghdad in Decline

Submitted by Judith (United States), Feb 8, 2012 at 23:23

My country tis' of the crazy people, and many to see. Are not the Iraqi's still killing each other and don't we have bills to pay we cannot pay already? Talk about needing a regime change! Hey, instead of the large embassy, why not a large golf course instead? Then we could really get ahead of the curve! Oh, let us please leave Peking alone before this administration's foreign policy becomes another Stephen King novel. Shall I call out "the Langoliers?" Something has to eat up these crazy ideas that are coming out of the State Department. Is this really happening? How can it get much worse?
