Mediation Among Friends and Nations

Reruns of the sitcom Friends are so delightful; nothing beats the original, or next to Three's Company. One episode had the six friends settling the matter of varied income brackets. The three higher-paid treating the other three made the latter feel like charity cases. KKK (paying for one's expenses) was deemed more equitable.

The Greek financial dilemma is like the Friends' crisis on a global scale. Germany and other Euro nations are the more well-off countries dealing with poorer Greece and its IMF debt. Same as in Friends, the starting point is always what the concerned party can afford. Can't squeeze from a stone; now that is not all Greek to me.
