| #11 secret asian man , are you a chinese communist ? Nothing that the National Guard didn't do in the late 19th Century or for that matter in the 1960s. Just have to push hard enough and you'll either collapse the government, which doesn't really solve the problem presented as the justification for the anarchy, or the government is willing to push back harder. It all depends on who has the most 'will'. |

| #10 Tell them that they can have all the welfare benefits they can handle if they move to Cypress. Then give up all claims to Cypress after the last one has left. |

| #9 Oddly enough, the fastest way for the government to take the wind out of the protestors sails would be to arrange for a "temporary return to the Drachma", followed by sky high inflation. Right now they want free stuff. But high inflation puts price tags on everything. It turns the mob on itself. "Free" anything is no longer an issue. |
