Are the Greeks really as unstable a people as they appear? Who do the Greek people blame for their problems? We always have our scape-goats in the States. Finally, when do the Germans invade?

They're like the French, they love a good demo.
And a good demo is only good when it involves rocks and flames and teargas.

To be fair to them, the unrest was being hyped before it started. Marches and demos by Trades Unions and students were being touted as civil unrest, while the Greek public sat around drinking ouzo and shrugging about the state the country was in.

Although, the Greek "iots always result in some good photos. Here are some from the protest a few days ago.
