#2 Regardless of Greece's severe economic problems and irresponsible fiscal behavior, Germany, et al, forced a sovereign nation to have their elected leader resign. Arm twisting a la 70 years ago, IMHO.

#3 I Am getting sick of your immature country, Greece.
Since when must the world cater to your irresponsibility and refusal to remove those pacifiers from your mouths?

You too Italy. Get your affairs in order before you crash the world.
Idiots

If there were no Germany the Greek government would have folded and its leader resigned much much sooner than this.

#7 I think that Greece declaring bankruptcy would be better for them in the long run. there is no way they can pay back their debt, regardless how they got there. And shame on the EUniks for not having their countries adhere to fiscal responsibility standards that the EU set in the beginning. The EU is reaping what they sowed.
