By the way, alot of your Greek sore feelings towards the US come from the stupid Commies that you all worship so much.

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."In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

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.We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham Lincoln

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.KH FOR OWNER!
ASHER FOR CEO!!
GUYNEMER FOR OT MOD!!!

it only lasted 2 minutes...
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.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

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.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

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.
