In the chaos of Iraq, one project is on target: a giant US embassy

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?

Irritation grows as residents deprived of air-conditioning and running water three years after the US-led invasion watch the massive US Embassy they call “George W’s palace” rising from the banks of the Tigris.


I suppose we should blame this on the insurgents as well?

I agree that this is another mistake, to succeed in building the US embassy in the midst of other failures. If it weren't for the idiots devoted to destroying and killing civilians, everything would be succeeding. So I still blame them.
