What is happening in Greece is ugly. What the EU is trying to do to Greece is ugly. The reaction is ugly, but to be expected. I am surprised, but shouldn't be, that in the MSM, even in the Occupy movement which is following Greece very closely there is so little [all but no] mention of what the USA did to Greece [raped with a coup and long brutal Military Junta] that IMHO set the stage for much of what we see now. Modern 'historical' perspective looks back a few months, if that far. Those who do not learn the lessons of history......
