Many of those buildings, although rich in architecture and grandious scale, were decryed as the home of the "enemy ". What would be the thought over the US Embassy as seen in this report, what will be the feeling of those who remain in a city destroyed by years of combat? I find the project just ridiculous!

Who the hell cares if this complex is better built than Saddams palaces HELLO are you missing the real issue here? 563 million would have went a long ways in protecting our men and women fighting this insane war. Iraq cannot even rule their own country and now according to reports they have this "oppulant" complex to spend "relaxing" time in instead of getting their country under control so our troops can come home.
