I’ve vacillated a bit on the Greek riots. At first, it seemed like a lot of people letting off steam without any real purpose. Then it seemed to take on a more insurrectionary flavor. From what I’ve read of different accounts of what happened in Greece, it seems to have been like most other uprisings, where political insurrection is blended with opportunism and routine criminality. Either way, though, such events do demonstrate the impotence, or perhaps weakness of will, of the state when faced with a real challenge.

Not a very good example. Read this re the greek riots:

“All of this took place while the security forces simply stood by and watched the disaster unfold. They were following the explicit orders of their political masters to assume a “defensive posture”–which in effect meant that they did not try to prevent the orgy of destruction.”
