Sorry I don't understand the part you don't agree with,
are you saying that you don't like The United States
and NATO protecting and providing security at the Olympic games
because it may make your lives uncomfortable
for 2 weeks? I think that's pretty selfish.
Personally as Greek American it would
make me feel much more
safer having Army guards from U.S.A and other countries
providing security.
I don't think Greeks should view this as them
not being capable protecting it's citizens and guests,
even though they have a hard time controlling soccer matches at times,
and they also shouldn't view this as them not feeling "free" because
of the army presence, they should feel safe
Europe fails to recognize this or turns the other cheek because
they may feel they are not in danger but the truth is the entire world
is in danger from terrorists, they are fooling themselves if they think
Arab terrorists would spare them.
My fears:
The sad fact is Greece has a very large Muslim population
furthermore it's very close to the middle east
and we have no idea who or what got through the Albanian,
turkey and other borders that surrounds Greece.
Some of the Arab citizens who live in Greece (illegally I may add)
hate Americans
and Jewish people they are fanatics add them with the
communists anti-Americans and you have a dangerous situation.
Heard a Greek radio host say although he lives
in Athens sometimes he feels like he lives in Sudan or Iraq
with so many Arab illegal citizens walking the streets.
And I'm scared of that.
I'll give you an example. After Nick Berg was beheaded in
Iraq, Alpha TV station interviewed an Iraqi man who lives
in Greece, he was very angry toward Americans because
he lost family members in Iraq
and said that Nick Berg's murder was justified and that if he
was there tha ton ekane komatakia!!!!
the Anchor tried to reason with him that Nick Berg was an innocent
civilian who went there to help his people not hurt them but he was
falling on deaf ears this guy looked like a maniac and kept on threatening
Americans, what if someone like that hears me speaking in English and
tries to kidnap me or try to harm me???if Army presence is present
criminals will think twice before attempring to
do something like that.
The more security the better
when a country accepts the task of hosting an
important event like the Olympics you also have
the responsibility to provide as much security as possible,
the world
is much different than it was 4 years ago.
