I would agree, you don't close your embassies but we should withdraw our military forces and only have embassies in nations where the People of those nations want our embassies. You shouldn't have to build a billion dollar fortress and provide 70,000 troops (endorsed by Clinton, Obama, and McCain) to secure an embassy in any nation. If the People of a nation don't want you in their country you should get the fuck out. An embassy is not required for diplomatic relations.
