The "deal" doesn't give our embassy back (which is sovereign American soil).

Embassies are not sovereign territory according to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. This is one of the most common misconceptions regarding international diplomacy. They are, however, considered inviolate according to that Convention.

Good morning. I didn't know that. I'll read up on it.

No matter, I still want our embassy back. [Sidebar: we should have nuke Tehran on Nov. 5, 1979]. If we had, I wouldn't have spent 13 months in Turkey. FUJC.
