Note that these jerks couldn't get the flag to catch on fire. Is that some kind of sign?

[oldvike]

I realize that Greece is near the middle east, but I did not know they hated America so much.

[Osinski]

I read this in disgust and frustration that my better judgement will not allow me to post the virulent, screaming pissed-offness I am currently experiencing. Greeks.

[Joe Boucher]

Greece has always been a kiss butt kinda place where the men have no balls. What one has to understand is that we in America won't forget this kind of treatment. The hell with these pieces of crap. Let them and anyone else who lines up against the U.S.A. understand that When their enemies like Turkey go to make war on them, let them have at it. France who America pulled out of trouble many times is lleader in limp excuses for real men. F em.

[All-American Medic]

Add Greece to the "against us" list. Then go and do them too!

[mountaineer]

If Greece were a Moslem nation, this might be halfway understandable. What a bunch of idiots.

[ValerieUSA]

I don't know the point of forcing spectators in foreign countries to observe a moment of silence for the victims in the U.S.
A moment of silence is meaningless.

attempt .... it's not a difficult word to spell

[demkicker]

This is disgusting and shows more proof that commie whackos control the press all over the world and have stirred the pot of hatred for the US to a boiling point.

IMO, The Bush administration needs to launch a huge public relations truth campaign before this type of ignorance multiplies out of control.

[Charles Henrickson]

Beware of Greeks baring rifts.

However, that raises a question: Were the booers and burners indeed Greeks? I mean native, ethnic Greeks? Or were they from other nationalities, now living in Greece? That is quite common in Europe these days.

[okie_tech]

I imagine that the Greeks are still pissed at us for bombing the Serbs and most importantly for AIDING THE ALBANIAN MUSLIM TERRORISTS that threaten Greece as well as the Balkans.

[Thoreau]

Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racist or violence posts.

Being an American of Greek heritage, I am horrified to read what the AEK fans did. I cannot believe that the vast majority of Greek citizens condone this act. Unfortunately, there is a small group of left-leaning b*****ds there that delights in any American misfortune.

[Mr. Jeeves]

I really think holding the 2004 Olympics in that nest of terrorism is a hideous risk. If the IOC won't make any changes of venue, a US boycott might be in order.

[ScreamingFist]

From Thursdays polls overseas;

"Clear majorities of between 70 and 80 percent supported limiting any strike to military rather than civilian targets, the survey found. Asked if their own country should support a U.S. military asssault, people in NATO countries other than Greece tended to agree."

"Four out of five Danes backed the idea, followed by 79 percent in Britain and 73 percent in France. Greeks were the least enthusiastic with only 29 percent, below 53 percent in Germany and 58 percent in Norway and Spain." Here you go pericles, come tell us again about those wonderful greeks. And don't forget to bash the Turks.

[MinuteGal]

Hey! I think it would be a great idea to manufacture all American flags in flame proof material!

[Capitalist Eric]

Hell, they were overrun by tribal bushmen, in the late 30's. Greece has a nasty habit of being conquered... By everybody.

Let them have their protest. "Either you're with us... Or you're with the terrorists."

Let them live with their lack of foresight.

[The Iceman Cometh]

Soccer

One step above the game of tag.

No wonder these simpltons couldn't light the flag.

[TKEman]

They are lucky a substantial amount of Americans weren't present.

[Salvation]

Several hundred fans booed and jeered, and a group set fire to an Israeli flag, while others tried to burn an American flag but couldn't get it to light.

Amazing story. Providential?

[Critter]

The Greeks had a major problem with Bill Klinton's work in Kosovo, if you think back. Remember how they protested his visit? I believe the anti-American sentiment is left over from then.

What a legacy! The pres that made the most enemies for America.

[F.J. Mitchell]

The Greeks have turned to geeks.
