Grief in Greece

During the 1940s, many of the partisan groups fighting the Germans across occupied Europe were Communist, sponsored and supported by the Soviet Union. Coming out of World War II, a substantial part of the Greek people associated opposition to the Germans with Communism.

U.S. President Harry Truman provided post-war aid to the non-Communist side in Greek politics who, with that help, carried the day. The Greek Communists didn't go away, their heirs still battle for control of Greece.

Go see this Wall Street Journal article which talks about Greece slowly sinking into anarchy and possible civil war. I am concerned our current President, unlike Democratic President Truman, won't see the need to continue the Cold War fight against Communism.
