The United States opened its new embassy building in Baghdad on Monday, a step meant to symbolize its transition from occupying power to an ally of a sovereign Iraqi government.
U.S. Marines raised the flag over the largest U.S. Embassy in the world during a ceremony in the courtyard of the large complex that will have working space for more than 1,000 people.
The embassy sits on a 104-acre site in the heavily fortified Green Zone and cost more than $700 million to build.

Because the U.S. has opened the world's biggest embassy and shopping mall for them to inherit within ten years.
