Are the Greeks pissed at us over The War Against Terrorism?
Are the Greeks pissed at us over The War in Iraq?
I just had a phone call with my 2nd generation Greek Dad and after I told him that we are not too keen about Brazil and Brazilians lately, he told us that the Greeks are angry at the United States. He said that this is because of the fact that they took a huge financial hit on the Summer Olympics and they blame US policy for causing the terrorism scare.
I changed the subject because (unlike most humans on this planet -- if they really are from this planet or not) I am unable to argue something that I have not researched.
So, has anyone else heard about this?
My first take is that we are being used as a scape goat. Sure attendance would be low. But the Olympics is a business. You have to think of advertising and marketing to attract revenue.
