Today, war was raged against the police. Bombs were thrown, stores were rampaged and people were trampled. The only thing that can calm the crowds is to fix this meltdown. But, that is easier said than done. The European Union has issued an ultimatum to the Greek parliament. Get it fixed or go under. If they do go under, that will send shockwaves all the way through the world economy, especially the fragile American economy.
There have been a couple bailout plans offered to the Greeks from the European Union. So far, there have been no takers on the offers. The Greek people want more. They have recently intensified their rioting when it was announced taxes will be raised and benefits will be cut.
I understand the anger of the Greeks, but this is not the way to do it. Trying to kill police just because they are doing their job is firmly crossing the line. The only way for the Greeks to save their country is to sit down civilly and express their views and wants. No one listens to shouting. It just makes your reaction more radical. I wouldn't be surprised if a radical move came from the Greek government.
