US Embassy in Baghdad = Regional Headquarters of US Imperialism

Britiain ran its imperial empire in South Asia and the Middle East from New Delhi (India). US is going to try to run its Middle East/Central Asia/South Asia/Africa empire from Baghdad. Unfortunately, US Empire there is doomed from the beginning -- it is finding it very hard to establish itself there. Good luck.

I am afraid, US will abandon its embassy there, just like it abandoned Saigon (Vietnam) in 1975.
