Russia Protests U.S. Strikes Near Its Iraq Embassy
Russia called in the U.S. ambassador to Moscow on Wednesday to protest against air strikes it said hit Baghdad's residential districts and endangered the lives of diplomats still working at its embassy in Iraq.

Russian President Vladimir Putin rammed home Moscow's sharp criticism of the Iraq campaign, saying deaths in the campaign justified its position.

A copy of the Washington Post could have warned Putin that a war is going on. That would be a good time to recall diplomats working in a city under fire. Unless, of course, you want to see them get killed in order to strengthen your protest against the war.
