WHY BLAME GREECE
1985
Overview
Words hurt, too, of course. When a bomb exploded this winter in a bar frequented by United States servicemen in Athens, Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger told Congress that this atrocity was the result of Prime Minister [Andreas Papandreou]'s rhetoric. A moment's thought, at a time when American installations from Portugal to West Germany were being bombed, would have shown this to be an absurd and dangerous remark. But a moment's thought is precisely what, when it comes to Greece, the Reagan team has no time for. Under previous governments, Greece was often turbulent in its relations with the United States and the Western alliance. Former Prime Minister and President Constantine Karamanlis, doyen of the conservatives, moved to distance Greece from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, to make openings to the Middle East and restore relations with the Warsaw Pact. It was during his tenure, also, that an Israeli aircraft was hijacked from Athens airport to Entebbe, Uganda.
