Iraqi Diplomat Draft?

Wednesday, October 31, 2007

The State Department has said that it may force Foreign Service staff to serve in the U.S. embassy in Baghdad if they do not get enough volunteers to fill 40-50 vacancies. What do you think?

Philip Kendricks,
Carpenter's Apprentice
"American diplomats have been forced to work in undesirable postings before. Akron, for one."

Sam Woodson,
Drill Press Operator
"All they need to do is put on some commercials that make it seem that being a diplomat is all about playing paintball and riding in helicopters."

Betsy Rufin,
Landscaper
"Maybe we could try to make Iraq better. Has that been suggested yet?"
