I think that whenever the US goes into other countries, we condescend towards their "unprofessionalism", or whatever. Kind of stuck up.

I agree that US embassy's are guarded, but with Benghazi and all the threats against our embassy's, I can sort of see why.

While I haven't been to the Middle East, I got a very lengthy tour of Washington DC awhile back, and the foriegn embassy's there don't seem guarded at all. They just seem to focus on architecture, which I find a little odd, and quite amazing.

It is fascinating to drive through the rows of them though, almost like going "around the world in 80 seconds".
