Greek fury over swastika poster
The Macedonian government has distanced itself from the poster
Greece has warned Macedonia that its hopes of joining Nato could be damaged by a poster which has appeared in the Macedonian capital Skopje.
The poster, advertising a private art exhibition, features the Greek flag with the cross replaced by a swastika.
Greece has already threatened to veto Macedonia's Nato bid if a dispute about the name "Macedonia" is not resolved.
The Macedonian government expressed regret over the poster, after Greece made an official diplomatic complaint.
The Greek ambassador to Washington, Alexandros Mallias, complained about the poster in a letter to President George Bush, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Jewish organisations in the US.

I don't get who exactly is supposed to be the Nazis? The Greeks or Nato or both? Yeah, Nato is putting Afghans in concentration camps and gassing them or maybe the Greeks are doing something similar....
