Yeah, if other Europeans don’t keep lending billions of dollars to Greece, even though they know it will never be repaid, they’re Waging War On Democracy.

Greeks might gain the opportunity to shape a future that, though perhaps not as prosperous as the past, is far more hopeful than the unconscionable torture of the present.

The choice of one type of colored paper (Euro) vs. the other type (Drachmas) is not as important as choice of one type of a Greek (a hard worker) vs. another (a lazy 35 y/o retiree from a government job.) The latter type will not succeed even in the most favorable business environment.

from this far away vantage (and perhaps a serious lack of factual information), it would seem likely that Greece could do a whole lot better reasserting its own sovereignty and currency

at least, its fate would no longer be tied to how effectively its pols can beg foreigners for concessions
