I think your response is very valid and informative, however, when you say: "Instead of burning their bridges and achieving nothing, the Greeks should have proved themselves sensible interlocutors, earned trust, restored domestic confidence and then fought for a better long-term deal."

Isn't that what they tried to do in the past 5 years, when Greece had a center right and center left party in control? They took on the austerity and all they got in return was the removal of any discussion for the much needed debt restructuring from the EuroGroup's agenda. Can you blame them for trying something different this time around?
