A Peace Crime

If the creditors of Greece allow Greeks to starve, they will have committed what amounts to a war crime in peacetime. Without a shot being fired, creditors, especially German, may be responsible for Greek deaths. Relentless austerity kills. Have successive governments in Greece been responsible economically and fiscally? Of course not, but that does not mean the Greek people should suffer for the sins of the few. I do not think Greece will have a large enough impact to bring down the world economy. I also do not want to see Greeks who had no hand in making the decisions of government suffer. I do not care whether the Greeks vote "yes" or "no" today, but only hope that either way, no one dies from want in Greece and no Greeks who trusted banks with their money have their deposits stolen to placate rapacious international bankers.
