#1 sorry Aris, but I feel a whole lot better

#2 Yet another attempt by the nationalist American/Zionist hegemony to reduce the sovereign anarchy of the Greek People. Any nationality would find better friends in the heathen hordes of Turkey than with Americans or Jews. Are the Americans and Zionists to introduce their own prisons on Greek soil, the better to provide "security" to their "athletes?" Will we see a repeat of Abu Sahib, where countless innocent Islamist freedom fighters were mocked and ridiculed?

What's this? Goat drool? Please excuse me, I'm just a starving college student. It's irresistable... yum yum.

#3 Frankly, so do I. I'd be sick of hearing part of the blame given to me, if Greek guards messed up.

#4 And "Sparus", only far right-winger Greeks would use words like "Zionists" or "heathen hordes of Turkey" but those people would also never use "nationalist" as an insult.

On the other hand, the conspiracist-talk about American instituting prisons and surveillance system and big-brother stuff belongs properly to the far-left-wing of the Greek looney spectrum -- the far-right-wing of the same spectrum would have said stuff about America trying to destroy our culture, language, and religion. Attacking Orthodoxy and stuff.

Try to be consistent in your parody, regardless of whether you are .com or Ptah or whomever, dear Anonymous Coward.

#6 Sorry. I had thought it was you who had used the phrase "starving student", but rechecking it had been therien instead.

#7 Cool. BTW - I wish Greece the best - and not just during the Olympics. I'm afraid things will get hot all over Europe soon.

#8 .com,

Any referance to:
"An ominous sounding message from the Abu Hafs Masri Brigade this weekend instructs Muslims as follows: âMuslims in the West should depart to Muslim states if they can. Those who cannot should take precautions and live in Muslim areas, have enough food to last a month, find ways to protect themselves and their families, leave enough money in the house to last one month or longer and to pray a lot and put their fate in Godâs hands,â

As the window for the truce offered by Osama Bin Laden to Europe nears its end on July 13, it has become evident that no one has accepted the cease fire offer. According to the audiotape statement issued by Bin Laden and released on April 15, the proposed truce would go into effect for each country âwhen their last soldier leaves the (Islamic) countriesâ." And blah, blah, blah......

#9 If you're asking if I was referencing the quoted text, no, not really. Those statements and threats have always failed to deliver on schedule. I just think it's pretty clear that we're reaching an active period. So many possible venues of heavy press (what they crave) - and the seeming perception that Europe is the weak spot - though I would guess that's not actually true for many countries. You can just feel it - much more shit will hit the fan soon, very soon. I'd love to be wrong, but...
