Since you don't know anything about the region except that you like shish ke bab and baklava and are easily deceived by Turkish hypocrisy

I happen to like Greeks, like you. I spent 3 years at Hellinicon A.F.B. before the Greeks told the U.S. to take a hike. Sorry about Cypress, don't screw with the Turks.

It's not about liking or disliking Greece and Greeks. The people do not need to be liked (As the EEU has found out) in order to have positive self esteem I assure you.

It's about what Muslim Turks have done to their neighbors in the past hundreds of years. It's about the horrors they continue to perpetrate against Christians.

Note: The Greek Socialists certainly made a mess of things during their heydey but the US role in Cyprus certainly understandably provoked Greeks to vote left. Like many thirdworld socialists they got much of their backing from the US (Papandreou the PM was for years an academic in the US) - Politically turning to the arab world was expedient then given the location of Greece and given the monster next door.

Finally, there are still plenty of US logistical installations including Souda Bay....probably more than even you know about. Unlike The Muslim Turks, Greece's allegiance is to freedom and democracy not to Islam.
