Oil spikes, food fears (part two)

It's not just oil. The world is now gobbling up grains faster than we can grow them. Will inflation and hot commodity prices kill the recovery and undermine pro-democracy efforts in places like Egypt and Tunisia? François Picard’s panel argues over how to feed an overcrowded planet that's trying to sustain a recovery.

The strongman’s gone, his former ministers are now gone too. Still the rowing continues over what next. François Picard’s all-Tunisian panel downplays the risk of a coup if it all drags on too long but does admit that speed is of the essence in establishing a roadmap for democracy.

Alexandre THEODORAKIS... is not an important figure on this own to take his statement for lack of democracy in Greece as presenting Greece. Specially if we consider that Alex probably present as ideology of limited far-left politics in Greece, with ideas that have nothing to do with modern Europe but more so with USSR. The majority voice of the population of Greece is not represented in Alex, and that was unfortunate for this discussion. However its funny and cynical how fast Kreber, a probable ideological opposite to Alex joined in agreeing with him on greece's democracy (all the while celebrating how important this "young voice" is!!). Even if you have elections, but just because the ideas you want (either Alex's or Kreber's) are not going to win, it mean no democracy??... for me both are at heart autocratic (even if ideological opposite) hypocrites!.
