The US Army didn't postpone the operations in Najaf because of the Olympic truce. If we were to abide to the true Olympic spirit, the USA should be expelled from the games.

What a silly analogy

But Powell's boss, G.W.Bush, is using the Olympics as propaganda for his Iraq and Afghanistan wars. If this isn't hybris, then what is?

What exactly does that have to do with the games in Athens?

And yes the ads are in poor taste. I'm not going to stick up for them.

The US Olympic Committee asked him to stop the ads, by the way.

what does an anti-whatever march of leftist groups which would happen at anytime in any western country that would be visited by powel have to do with the olympics or greeks???????

It was committed during the Olympics by Greeks, Greeks who booed and hissed at an American Olympic champion when he displayed his flag. Honestly, this isn't that hard to understand.

2 minutes too long and very offensive. Would you say "it only lasted 2 minutes" if the runner was an Israeli and they were yelling slurs at him? The length of time doesn't matter.

The only I think I would change in the Olympics is to replace those spectators who attended with those who didn't.

Otherwise, good job Greece.

Colin Powell visited here in April, no demonstrations. Just friendly debate at a high school at Powell's request, lunch with the Queen and a relaxing stroll in Tivoli Gardens.

United States leaders know they are always welcome here.

Re the Olympics, I haven't seen any live pictures from Athens, but it seems to have been a successful show, smoothly and safely conducted in general, which deserves recognition from the parties involved.

Yes he would. An israeli athlete is just as bad as an american. But more rare.

Cheer up, Saras.

According to my list, you're the 19th most winning nation when compared to your population size.

That's almost as good as Denmark.

The Olympic truce didn't ever mean you stopped your wars. It just meant the athletes from the warring nations had a free pass to and from the games, with no interferences during.

Everywhere else, game on.

Actually, my first post apologized to Greece and my second post insulted idiotic Greeks. Obviously, you fit into both categories...
