There are more radical left wing in the US government than on the streets of the Athens.

I think you missed the point...and that is Greeks must dissolve their chains to the the failed secular unified European concept - it deserves a quick death— and get on with taking care of their own business.

On the contrary, you missed the point. Namely that Greece WANTED to join the Euro so it could continue to borrow money to fund their communist experiment - basically at the same interest rates as low-risk Germany instead of the high-risk premiums that the market demands of failed socialist states like Greece.

You argue that Greece should leave the Eurozone or even the European Union so it can continue its leftist ways on a national scale. Greece is free to do that. If it wants to make it on its own, it can and it should instead of expecting a bailout. But the real point is that the implosion of Greece was of its own doing and had nothing to do with the European Union and its conservative monetary policy.
