The Greek lobby, in the form of the Western Policy Center, has taken over the "Southeast Europe Project" of The Woodrow Wilson Center, a Washington based think tank headed by former US Congressman Lee H. Hamilton and lately Vice Chairman of the "The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States ".
The Greek tail is wagging the "the greatest super power in history" dog. For what? How much funding was promised by the Greek government via the Greek lobby?
Is Lee H. Hamilton proud of this association?

The Woodrow Wilson Centre and the Orthodox fascist lobby Greater Surbiton,
Picture: The Woodrow Wilson Centre’s award ceremony chairman, Alexandros Lykourezos, with his friend, the architect of the Srebrenica massacre and indicted war-criminal Ratko Mladic
.The Woodrow Wilson Centre invited the Greek lawyer Alexandros Lykourezos to chair its award ceremony in Athens on 15 May. Lykourezos has boasted of his friendship with the indicted war-criminal and terrorist Ratko Mladic, the Bosnian Serb commander who organised the Srebrenica massacre of July 1995. Lykourezos, who worked as Mladic’s defence lawyer, denies that the Srebrenica massacre ever took place. The scandal of a supposedly respectable institute of learning collaborating in this manner with such an individual has provoked a storm of protests from Bosnian citizens, academics and journalists. Michael Van Dusen, deputy director of the Woodrow Wilson Centre, justified its collaboration with Lykourezos on the grounds that ’Mr. Lykourezos is, we are told, a significant presence in Greek society, and in that context he had been asked by the Awardees to chair and help support this internationally acknowledged event.’ Sharon Carter, director of ‘outreach and communications’ at the Woodrow Wilson Centre, justified its collaboration with Lykourezos on the grounds that ‘the Centre notes that Mr. Lykourezos’s views on the Bosnian crisis of the 1990s are views shared by much of the Greek population and that in fact he has indicated that he had no direct or indirect contact with General Mladic after 1997 or with Slobodan Milosevic after 2000.’ Precisely how support for genocide can be reconciled with the ideals of Woodrow Wilson is unclear.
Oh, come on now David? Don't you know that Woodrow Wilson was a supporter of the Ku Klux Klan?
