Protests in Athens - against Colin Powell Arrival
The riot police are out in force. I guess Powell was supposed to be there for the closing ceremonies. The Greeks don't want him there.

Think what would have happened if it were Bush who showed up.

4. The Greeks still know how to riot.
These bastards are crazy. They firebombed the French Embassy during anti-war protests a couple years ago. They have the guts to riot during the Olympics. Crazy Greeks. :)

(Note: My parents are Greek)
