On the Blast at the US Embassy in Athens
The projectile hit on the US Embassy in Athens, independently of its origin, gives the US the possibility to exploit it within the framework of its general offensive against the peoples.This specific action takes place in a period when the US are bombing Somalia and increase their occupation troops in Iraq, something that has provoked reactions both internationally and inside the US. It takes place at a time when the general imperialist plan of the alleged “democratisation of the Middle East” is being advanced.
The discussion and allegations about that the damage caused to Greece's international image are misleading. The main issue is that the hit cannot serve as an alibi for the intensification of state oppression, policing measures and action of the various services.
What are needed are vigilance, alertness and action for the development of the anti-imperialist movement which is precondition for the marginalisation and isolation of every provocation, regardless of where it may originate from.
