The American Embassy in Iraq must be stout to survive the prolific Muslim self-terminator bombings that assail non-Muslim powers. The field of plastic explosives has advanced a lot in the last decade and even semtex and the favorite C-4 are rather mild flavors now days. The United States cannot mire itself in the past explosively speaking nor base it's embassy security on a keystone cops sort of opiate of false security as many seek. There are many that would choose to enhance their own economic prospects by devastating those of the United States who were formerly known to have more borrowed money than sense on how to save it.

In the absence of U.S. troops someday the Iraq embassy needs to be able to survive serious truck bombings if it is to survive. Remember the U.N. mission of Mellow blasted away?

I would have built it at a different location myself, and had better aquaculture moating effects, more tunnelling and blast wave redirectors walls and so forth that the existing structure, and built it for far less cost.

They and OPEC will bring the nation 150 or 200 dollar per barrel oil prices later this year very likely and yet the response of the Federal government to permanently launch the nation on to an independent alternative energy policy is perennial lacking as the toadies of political power seek to consume the crumbs of Communist Chinese manufacturing growth and Persian Gulf Arab oil riches. The nation is lacking common sense and Senator McCain is the sole Presidential candidate in 2008 with the potential to thrash the ignorant, corrupted congress into moving to national alternative energy independent support and home electrical power production. The Senator should he choose to accept the mission could bring the field of ecological economics to prominence in federal budget and resource planning (ref.
