The Cartoon of the Day
EDITORIAL

Need to protect the gullible After a very eventful week, during which rioters indulged in an orgy of destruction and plunder in the Greek capital and elsewhere around the country, someone should take the time to explain to the public the limits of so-called «revolutionary violence.» They must at long last explain with clarity who decides what classifies as a revolutionary act and what as an act of plunder.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

Veil of illusions lifted For years we feared that the dangerous game between anti-establishment youths and police would lead to someone being killed. But even so, when the dreadful event did occur, no one could have predicted how terrible it would be nor how it would shake Greece to its core. The murder was not committed in the heat of battle between anarchists and riot police, where it could somehow be explained as a predictable accident.
