The junta was in the works as far back as 1962. They were lining up the insiders to take over. The Junta actually got a lot of infrastructure work done. They traded one corruption for a junta.

Many of the people who say it was the CIA were the communists who tried to launch a simultaneous counter junta to take over the governemnt themselves. The accusation of the communists centers around the university riot which was put down. Many communists were killed there. There is a "claim" of a pictures of an ununiformed man with a machine gun on a universtity roof. I have not seen the picture, and everything seems to be speculation.

The Greeks are also pissed due any number of reasons for having their interest looked over. I trace much of it as a legacy of the incompetence of Albright.

It is a differnt world in that country. One time zone, a population of only 10 million people, different pace of life. Albanians to the north illegaly entering making our mexican problem look like a cakewalk. Turkey to the east constantly challenging airspace and territorial waters. It realy makes you appreciate the USA when you see the predicament other countries face just due to geography.

I have been to greece on business at least 30 times. It is an absolutely georgeous country. They are very proud people.
Having said that, I had noticed anti- american feelings for the last 30 years. The only exception is when they expect you to apy them for goods or services, they can be the most charming people. :-)
