RE: BA plane at missile strike
Interesting that you bring that up, Mongu, as that is another debate in itself. I was born in the U.S., both my parents were born in Greece. Unlike your fiance, I have been to the old country 6 times, soon to be 7. We still retain all the customs and traditions, even living in the U.S. To that extent, I am very Greek, and the fact that I associate with my cousins and Greek friends rather often helps keep the Greek alive. I was, however, born in the U.S., live in the U.S., and will continue to live in the U.S. I pay taxes to the U.S., and they pay my salary. I consider myself, “Greek-American,” which I suppose is the politically correct thing to do. I support both nations when they play internationally, however Greece and the Greek way of thinking piss me off(especially after Sept. 11) quite a bit, especially when it comes to politics. But I’d rather not even go there. Hope that answers your question.

P.S. I also have an Australian fiance Mongu, we have something in common. However, mine is Greek-Australian, rather than Italian.
