Reply #36: I don't get your point - we're not the exception. Most nations have embassies. [View All]

Dozens of nations have embassies in the U.S. and around the world.

As far as Iraq and the embassy, I think that you're misinterpreting my position, perhaps intentionally. I don't agree with the embassy in Iraq - I think it is a ridiculous waste of resources and a big middle finger to the Iraqi people. They don't have electricity, but we have a fricking city in the middle of Baghdad?

I also firmly believe that we should get the hell out of Iraq, and the sooner the better.

I, however, am also a realist. I simply do not believe that it is reasonable to expect that ANY of our candidates can deliver on a promise to get ALL troops out of Iraq in the foreseeable future. It's just not going to happen. Iraq will be another Korea.
