...embassy staff that numbered 25 in 1975 now stands at 215 Americans, plus 315 local employees. But at a time when the fortress-like U.S. embassy compound in Tehran remains in the hands of Iranian militants, and the American missions in Islamabad and Tripoli are still scarred from last year's assaults, many staffers in Cairo question the wisdom of constructing an opulent symbol that could easily turn into a lightning rod for anti-American protests.
