Fighting them at our embassies over there

So you can continue to believe we are not fighting them here:

Blasts heard at foreign embassies in Syria - Yahoo! News

Hard to tell whether this will be big news tomorrow (Tuesday,) but aren't our foreign embassies, strictly speaking, really a part of "over here"? Am I being too cute?

And isn't the big news here that we even have an embassy in Syria? As evil as they're supposed to be, what with Bush accusing them of fronting Hezbollah and all, what's the point of an embassy there if not to be a tantalizing target?

Or perhaps that's just revealing our own stupidity. These and many more are the reasons we try to focus on domestic politics here at the Eight.
