Greek Riots Spread In Solidarity

I have been watching with keen interest what is happening in my husbands homeland and reading and communicating with bloggers to get a view of what's happening. Greek husband also talks to his mother daily to make certain she is safe. I am not offering any photographs nor linking to the videos on youtube showing the violence. Those who want to see can do that themselves, they are pretty awful in my view.

I will not and cannot comment on this blog about my views since 1. I am not Greek and 2. I don't live there. I only spend a few weeks a year in that country and see things differently. Not exactly a tourist yet not a full time resident either. The financial damage to the country is so far pegged at 1.3 BILLION dollars...

My biggest beefs are with Olympic Airlines and most recently the bank. One has been resolved, the other may never be.

But for those who are interested I will link you to some bloggers with very different opinions on the ongoing crisis both for and against.

These are all very interesting people and write from the experience I don't have.

There are also various news reports and opinion pieces on the subject. And of course the counter opinion pieces.

Then of course the usual news reports from MSM which only confuse things even more.
Ekathimerini the English version, Spiegel on line who report the riots have spread to other major European cities, hell even Al Jazeera got in on the act.

This commentary is worth reading, if you read nothing else...
