In November 1999, Clinton was scheduled to visit Greece. His trip was initially postponed and later cut short, because of massive demostrations...
One week before Clinton's visit to Athens:
Simitis (the Greek Prime-Minister): But who invited killed
Serbs to Clinton's reception?!!
The other guy: It seems the dead Iraqi kids,
boss...
Days before Clinton's visit, the Washington Post accused the Greek government of having links with the November 17 terrorist organinzation...
Simitis: Me?!! How could I ever have any relations with
terrorists?
Clinton: Then how come you have relations with war
criminals?...
