Crisis Deepens; Chaos Grips Greece
A nationwide strike!!!
A riot police officer was engulfed in flames from a fire bomb thrown by protesters in Athens.
http://online.wsj.com/video/fire-bom...96DA274DB.htmlWednesday's protests were sparked by Greece's weekend agreement to adopt austerity measures in exchange for a €110 billion ($143 billion) bailout loan from the European Union and the IMF. Unions challenged Greece's parliament, which could consider the measures as soon as Thursday, to vote them down.
The general strike marks the broadest challenge to date to the government of Mr. Papandreou, which is pressed to pass the austerity legislation to unlock bailout funds to meet a debt payment later this month that it otherwise couldn't meet.
The protests also brought out many Greeks who were resigned to belt-tightening. Their unhappiness at the cuts was matched with rancor toward a generation of politicians who they say spurred the crisis with decades of corruption, kickbacks and accounting legerdemain aimed at obscuring to the EU the true level of Greece's annual deficits.

I would surmise, the Bet's from the first wave (the tail that threw down 1/3) are getting an idea as to the extent of damage from the war that was out there. I wonder if n49 is a remnant of the explosive power used in that war....

I have often wondered the same thing. Are some of these caused from war?!?! Only time and patience will give us the truth.
