Exactly, what to look for in Greece's case? At which stage do you cancel your holiday? Burnings of northern European politicians in effigy, or something more serious? It's difficult to imagine an EU member state to which I can (almost) hop on a plane without a passport going to pieces like that. Greece seems very much 'one of us', unlike the 'other' that is everywhere East of the Med. Not least their NATO membership. But I'm aware that we blindfold ourselves to stuff we don't want to see until it's too late, and then we all find it terribly inconvenient when we can't get feta and wonder 'how could this have happened?'.
