Yet another amazing quote from the same Wall Street Journal article:
Greece's renewed turmoil is putting Europe's leaders in a difficult position. Many hoped that the Greek election would result in a national consensus to push forward with the deep spending cuts Greece's previous governments committed to as a condition of the rescues. Instead, voters used the ballot to express deep dissatisfaction with the measures.
Really? Did European policymakers really believe that the Greek people would never grow tired of the endless austerity? If so, this is simply sad, because virtually everyone else in the rest of world saw that the Greek people were being pushed over the edge.
