Having been in another country bordering areas very important to US interests, allow me to say that a US foreign embasy is actually a pretty terrifying place from the outside. Razor wire atop eight foot concrete walls. Road Blocks. Large vehicles sporting 50. cals on top.

I was staying at an area surrounded by embassies and ambassador's houses, most of them from Europe. I saw one guy in urban cammo and an automatic guarding some twelve buildings. He was pretty nice too. He smiled, said Hi. Some of my friends got a picture with him.

The US embassy? Patrols round the clock. Quite a few guards with quite a few guns. Serious business. And we wonder why the rest of the world looks at us differently. #Sarcasm
