respectfully submitted:
we have bombed Serbia twice on their Pascha (1944, 1999); the US stance re: FYROM (with potentially disputed territory including Mt. Athos per the State Dept. map), Cyprus, our (in)action during the burning of Smyrna, our failure to address the problems of the EPatriarch and the Halki, our rocky relationship with Russia, our silence on the Orthodox Palestinian plight, and statements like the following:
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]a speech Henry Kissinger gave some three years prior, during which he said the following:[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] The Greek people are a difficult if not impossible people to tame, and for this reason we must strike deep into their cultural roots. Perhaps then we can force them to conform. I mean, of course, to strike at their language, their religion, their cultural and historical reserves, so that we can neutralize their ability to develop, to distinguish themselves, or to prevail; thereby removing them as an obstacle to our strategically vital plans in the Balkans, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East.[/FONT]
etc, etc,
may lead one to the conclusion that this nation is hardly friendly toward EOrthodoxy
