Is An Attack On A Foreign Embassy In A Country Viewed As An Attack On The Country?

So let's just say that an American embassy is attacked in Africa. is that an attack on the United States?


    




A blank!

By most countries yes, that land is technically the owning countries soil.

So attacking it is attacking that country.

Since the US embassy represents the US in other countries, an attack on the embassy is intended to be viewed as an attack on the US. That's the whole point.

Do not be afraid about the Bush propaganda. he likes US people live in fear.

George is really the only one on track here so far.

YES. This law has been in place since this country started having embassies in foreign lands in the 1700's. The land on which the U.S. embassy is located in a foreign country is considered U.S. property and the same is true for every foreign embassy in Washington.

Look at "Julian's" answer. It shows everyone how misinformed, absent of common knowledge and stupid he is, blaming Bush for his stupidity. Are you a Katrina survivor also?

DAAAAA..of course it is!!

I think so, yes. So you could say the U.S. was attacked and its peanut farmer in charge sat on his hands for 400 plus days.

Yes, it is. Of course there will be investigations and it is not always the host country's fault, they may be questioned if response and reaction times were not up to norms. However besides that, most countries would be stupid to carry out a deliberate attack on an Embassy in their country, as all fingers would point to them. Most Embassy attacks are done by terrorists who have no national allegiance.

Funny you should mention an Embassy in Africa too, that's exactly where I work.
