""Ha you must be joking. I have a brother who served in the Greek army as an officer (stationed in Cyprus by the way) and one of my buddies is now a helicopter pilot for the Greek Air Force. Turkey does not dare to attack Greece because they know that it will be a big mistake and stupid nevertheless. Bulgaria does not dare to do anything that stupid either, the Greek army will be in Sofia in a week. Slavs in the north have no problem with us really. And Hoxa Albanians my brother tells me if we wanted we can take Albanian in a day or two...But Greeks are not aggressive people and do not attack sovereign countries even thought the Greek minority in Albania has been mistreated for so long. Greeks will defend their country just like the Serbs are doing. What Greeks fear is being encircled by Turkey AND their allies the Albanians in a "Greater Albanian" scheme."" No, Mr. Papadopolous, I am not joking! You suffer from a malady that most of us Europeans suffer, short memories! If it wasn't because of the United States and the American blood shed, we would have been still under the NAZi dominantion or at the best, soviet Satelites!! I don't care what he end-game, we were liberated by Americans and bed and housed by Marshall Plan! So, please don't spit in the plate you ate off, just say thank you America! Maybe your to young to remmber Umschlag Platz, and SS Einsatzgruppen at work, but some of us do!!! You take yourself very seriously! Almost. You can tell this to people who don't know Greece, and their capabilities! You have no industry to talk about, apart from Tourism, EC excluded your country from the monetry union becasue you finnances are in disarry and corruption everywhere! You have no-national resources to talk about, apart from fish and a 3000 meters hole DEP drilled in Adendron (thanks to OMV in Austria !!) is pumping a few thousand barrels a day! And are you going to defeat Turks and Bulgaians by selling them Baklava, Kùftezakia, and Kala-paça at them! Be serious, and open your eyes. Turks maintain a well displined army, well repected by NATO and US. They have loyally paid their dues to NATO, fought in Korea along side United States and are fully particiapting in Kosovo and in peace keeping in Bosnia! I don't judge people by race and relgion, but by acts. I repect loyalty. Turks have covered themselves with honour when it comes to loyalty to NATO partnership. What you have done to thank NATO and US!!!!!! (((((That is an absolute lie! As a matter of fact, when Turkey INVADED the sovereign country of CYPRUS the Greek military govt. attempted to send airplane help and they were TURNED BACK midway there...at Kissinger's clear instructions))) Again, you should thank United States and Mr. Kissinger for having save you from a bloody war with Greece! If you would have sent toops to Cypress, that would have meant a war with Turkey and your beautiful Islands would have been lost, not mention Therakia and Makadonia!! Military Government in Athen orgainzed a coup agisnt Archibishop Macarios and deposed him so they could have taken over Cypress, and Turks re-acted! The truth is apart from being Christians, both greeks and Turks behaved with cruelty and meaness. You both committed mass murder and genocide. Maybe you should ask Milosovic to ask Turks to leave Cypress!! I think United States, NATO, and Eurpean Union should take note of Greek lack of co-operation. It is your business to turn back to NATO alliance, after having received protection for 50 yrears, but it is our right to kick your ass out of NATO and EC and let you join your Serbian Friends!! Don't think that Greeks are the only one who are upset about the bombing! I think evrybody is! When I here NATO talks about dead Serbian in terms of Colotral Damage it makes me sicK. But when I see that Milsovic and Serbian Natioanlist have killed a million and diplace 5 million peple in 10 years, I say lets go and stop this s.o.b. He is as bad as Hitler, and his friends and sympathizers are no better!! Last but not least, shall we ask 50000 Jews born in Salonika if they ever forgave their next door Greek neighbours Greek for having turned them over to Gestapo in the fall of 1941, so they could sackage their property! Young man, you should read more and be impartial when you you read. Your father and your brother helicpoter pilot are sufficent sources to discuss history!

George, you are so blatantly biased on this issue that you can't hope to make any objective judgements, much less a credible argument for your position. You see things in a sort of negative reverse image of black and white. If it's something that favors the Serbs or their ethnic or Orthodox brethren, then it's the gospel, no matter that they are executing civilians by the hundreds as we speak and have been doing so since the start of this ethnic orgy of death started eight years ago. If it is something detrimental to the Serbs, like say, let's see, .....oh yes, like a NATO bombardment that is destroying the Serb military and taking away it's ability to wage war, then it is evil and must be stopped at all costs and the perpetrators of such blasphemy burned at the stake. Sorry George, but I hope that you can see how this would tend to make your arguments a bit questionable, at best. Look at the bright side, there's going to be a lot fewer Yugos when this is all over.
