There is no standard best or worse case scenarion for Greece. All depends from where you look at. Roughly for the Greeks, there is no best case scenario. The way they have been self-trapped there is only only one-way out, via the catastrophe. Yet for the Greeks it does matter what will be the result in the Sunday election. For Brussels and Washington (DC) , however, the result does not matter as Monday will be an ordinary day with business running “as usual.”
First lets see the big chessboard. In the Greek case, only two influencing factors are involved, Americans and the Europeans. Americans have considered Greece always, as their “territory.” This explains why after the military dictatorship (1967-1974) the Karamanlises (pro-European) were put, not gently, out of power and the Papandreous (pro-US) fluorished. Greece was drove to catastrophe by the decisions of George Papandreou during the last two years despite, the country could have avoided easily the worse, if two years earlier the then government had decided and acted differently.
