Greek archbishop compares US with Nazis: press reports


ATHENS, Jan 4 
   The Greek Orthodox primate, Archbishop
Christodoulos, compared US dominance of world affairs
with Nazism and accused President Bill Clinton of
having "blood on his hands" in remarks reported by the
press Tuesday. 

Speaking to a fundamentalist church group on Monday,
the ultra-conservative cleric referred sarcastically
to Clinton, "who we saw on our screens praying for
world peace although he has blood on his hands." 

Christodoulos also said he was "frightened by the
expression 'New World Order'" to describe the dominant
US role in world affairs because "the Nazis used the
same term." 

"They also wanted to impose a new world order," he
said. 

The patriarch, who wields considerable influence in
Greece, was a strong supporter of Yugoslavia's regime
during its conflict last spring with NATO forces over
the repression of ethnic Albanian Muslims in the
southern Serb province of Kosovo.
