all this is interesting speculation, but, the Greek people have now seen, and shown the rest of Europe, that if they refuse to accept the blame for mistakes made and crimes committed in their name but without their consent, they can influence thing: bigwigs in europe started running round like headless chickens when Papandreou, for whatever reason,but probably because he saw he wasnt going to manage to impose draconian conditions on the rebellious populace, said he thought a referendum would be a good thing. That way the people could impose them on themselves, in which case they would possibly stop complaining and whining about being jobless broke and without hope for the future the way they so annoyingly keep doing.Finance whizkids can`t easily understand these fears- in the words of the greek proverb, "the well fed never understand the starving"
Anything that has the effect of upsetting the powerful and making them on some level aware of the outrageousness of their demands Must be a blow struck for the power of the people against a system that has let them down and impoverished them.
Iceland`s doing OK and is smaller, Argentina`s doing Ok and its bigger. Why can`t Greece do OK being medium? and why not prefer disorderly default to endless serfdom to the bankers ?
Iceland put the crooks in jail. That`d be fun here, too.

John

Thank you for providing well written and authorative insight as to what is unravelling in Athens.

I feel truly sorry for the Greek people who mostly deserve better from these spoilt prima-donnas.

Best wishes
