Just out of interest what does the change of government in Greece mean to Brussels and its member states, if their stated aims are to withdraw from the Euro. JS

It will have a vey strong impact on the rest of the EU and could possibly see the whole system fall apart. If they pull out many countries owed money by them may well not get a cent back.
A t the problems with ISL, the main problem is the media such items sell news very well ad no matter the story the media will put its' own spin on to it.
Then there are countries such as USA, China, Russia, even UK who make a fortune out of selling arms so they have a vested interest in who gets what and when.
Conflicts such as this are not new and n matter what we ma fell about it all the powers that be will go the way they want. By saying 'we are going to fight them' looks good for their image so hey will continue t do what they are doing now.


Happy daze John in Oz.

#10... Would of thought the obvious people to go to pay their respects would of Been Bush and Bliar. Even going at their own expense. Obviously knew him by first name terms. Never seem to hear anything from Bliar these days, does his expensive lectures he gives not encompass the Middle East anymore, he was or is supposed to be an expert on, even to holding some governmental advisory position. Maybe he has sudden memory loss. JS
