Read your Wiki source and found nothing about Embassy land ownership.
However, a Yahoo Search turned up that Embassys are either OWNED or Leased from a country and therefore it's property.
Please show me the law that says we can't protect our citizens under attack
with air support. Come on Spence, Wiki and your statement about no air support to save American lives doesn't cut it.
