It says "Rice", but if you read the thing with the school teacher talking, it says "The war mongering U.S." So it's official now. The Greeks hate us.

So the teacher speaks for the whole nation now?

Indeed. :p I just got a bizarre mental image of the people surrounding the teacher while he was talking to the reporter, and they all start shouting 'What?! That's not what we're doing! We just wanted to get out in the fresh air!'

I was wondering what these people:
At least six people were detained on Monday after they managed to unfurl a giant banner reading "Condoleezza Rice go home" on the Athens concert hall, adjacent to the US embassy, the AP news agency reported.
were 'detained' for.

If Rice or Bush turn up, there's bound to be protests (unless maybe China which isn't exactly democratic).

The US backed a brutal military dictatorship in greece for many years before it was overthrown, do you really expect them to like you?

They may not like the US government, but I doubt they hate ordinary American people.

They just Hate the US government not the people as far as I know.

Yes.

England's been hated much longer than the US, so nyah nyah!

Don't worry, guys... for the most part, it's not you, it's Europe.

everyone (well almost) seems to hate the us government (including me) but most of the people I talk to arn't sure whether to pity the americans for being stuck in such a system that brings bush to power or hate them for voting for him.

Just as well "us" doesn't include us.

Probably only trespassing.

I've seen the pictures on TV and I must say: "Go Greece!"

What we'd need is even more riots :D

The Greeks protesting dont hate Americans, they hate the US government, Bush, Rice, etc.

I dont care if they hate them or not, LOL.

Everybody hates Americans. Hell, I live here and I hate most Americans.

Just be careful if they start sending presents.
