Collateral Damage of a Sad State of Affairs

From the Telegraph:

With Greek morale at rock bottom, the national mood darkened yet further after armed thieves looted a museum on Friday in Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games, and stole bronze and pottery artefacts - just weeks after the country's National Gallery was burgled.
One Greek newspaper suggested the state could no longer properly look after the nation's immense cultural heritage. "The Greek state has gone bankrupt, let's face it," the conservative daily Kathimerini said in an editorial.
"If the state cannot guard the country's great cultural heritage for financial or other reasons it must find other ways to do it."

This is truly a scourge on European history, past and present. To see cultural treasures of Ancient Greece pillaged with no remorse is both pathetic and regrettable. It is comparable to Nazi destruction of Italian historical sites in WWII. I however, blame Germany, the Eurozone countries and banks pushing for a bailout of Greece. They're demands of wage cuts, pension decreases and other strangulative measures on the Greek people shows the indifference to their treatment of those people, and how violent the consequences of these treatments are bound to become. As it looks now, no amount of molotov cocktails are going to stop this bailout from happening. It looks as the future of Greek sovereignty is a bleak one.
