Death comes to the streets of Athens

Once the birthplace of the modern civilization based on ethics and rationality, Greece has become a place where corruption flourishes and irrationality blooms.
Greece gained its entrance into the European Union because of its symbolic qualities. It became a member of the eurozone based on tricks and false numbers. It would be the epitome of a Greek tragedy if now Greece should provide the catalyst to bring the euro and the European Union down, a structure which has served as an essential promoter for peace and prosperity in Western Europe and to extend it to Eastern Europe.
