if we go beyond that this main issue, the next is the greeks ideas of urgency. they have grown so used these fires and for the most part dont mind some forest burning.

They were blamed for past fires, and they get blamed for whatever goes wrong in Greece. I'm surprised that they are not being mentioned in news reports. I'm wondering if this is being censored.

My own mother taught me (more than once) that you never, never, NEVER pour water on a Greece fire! Do these people not have mothers?

Wonder if this will hurt Greek tourism in long run or if it will be forgotten. Excellent commentary I haven’t seen elsewhere.
