here is an article (via drudge) in which greek communists seemingly attribute false causation of the cancellation of colin powell's visit to athens to mindless sloganeering. see especially the comments of a communist named aristotle. see also the fact that they didn't even spell powell's name correctly on the giant banner hung on the acropolis, though i'm not surprised, since most modern radicals don't seem to me to scruple over details. it is mind-numbing to me that people would still buy into communism after the events of, oh, say, THE 20TH CENTURY, but it is especially disgusting to see the symbol of the communist party next to a charge that someone else is a killer.
