Greece is a pawn that has captured nothing

[alice malice]

Yes, Greece has captured the attention of the Spanish Left, and lots
of others, once again. Grexit is number one on the Charts and Spanick
at the Euro is moving up.

In the end, Greece will make a deal. It may be a good deal for the
poor and that's what a Left Party should be about. Right?

The Greek people have tried Krugman's "help" and it is a world of pain, suicide and humiliation.  Contrast this with the Icelandic response in 2008,  and what path would you have chosen? Already major ripples through the markets with this, cheap oil, and Switzerland's recent banking decisions.
