The U.S. is in the process of building the world's largest and most expensive embassy in Iraq. The 104 acre site will be a constant, and I am sure greatly appreciated (did you catch that sarcasm?), reminder of western penetration of the Middle East. The embassy makes the statement that not only are we going to continue to occupy your country but we are here for the long haul. Not suprisingly, the embassy has and will be a prime target for attacks (the construction site was already hit with mortar fire this month).
