The Bloated Baghdad Embassy
We need to look at what we do from the perspective of what would happen if somebody else did it to us.
Ron Paul, SC GOP debate, 2007.
Instead of following this advice, we’re building a billion-dollar embassy - complete with its own power plant - the size of the Vatican in prime-real-estate Baghdad. Let’s look at this from the perspective of what would happen if somebody else did it to us:
Here is an overlay I created of the proposed Baghdad embassy atop some prime real estate in our largest city - atop the World Trade Center site to be precise.
Do we expect the people of Iraq to be satisfied that the U.S. is building a small fortified city in the middle of Baghdad? If we want to stabilize the city, and this project is only costing us a billion dollars, why don’t we take the entire Iraq war budget (somewhere in the area of $400 billion) and bulldoze Baghdad to the ground and erect one giant fortified embassy?
We’ve also attempted to build the Berlin wall down main-street Baghdad - that is, before the Iraqi government stopped us. Who are we kidding?
