If no Americans want to go to Greece, how come all the flights leaving the U.S. are booked up to Novemeber?(I did a search on travelocity)

You are correct to point out that the facts don't necessarily support Hanson's contention that the number of American tourists in Greece is down compared to rest of Europe. We know that the numbers of Americans traveling abroad has been down since 9/11. I am confident that Americans will be visiting Greece in droves to see the Olympics. They will be welcomed warmly. I am always skeptical when I have to depend on the personal perceptions of the author to buy his premise.

Last September (including 9/11/2002) our flights to
and from Athens were completely full.

Everyone was doing the same type of trip, head to Athens,
then connect on another flight (or the ferry docks at Pereus) to the Islands.

Athens is a dirty, polluted armpit full of American haters.
