Its not a single building. And this is important why? In the larger scheme? Probably not at all. But it was relevant to your posting about how it was unreasonable for one building to cost that much. You don't think there is no building equipment in a city of 3 million? You think nothing needs to be moved in at all? All sorts of specific equipment for embassy staffs would have to be moved in. Fuel would as well (even if it comes from Iraq, it would have to be move from a well somewhere, to a refinery somewhere, maybe not in Iraq, and then to the site, and it would have to receive security along the way). Some of the skilled labor would be non-local (and non-locals will only work in Iraq if 1 - They are military, which isn't doing the work, at most they would provide security for some of it, or 2 - You pay very high salaries)
