The word "referendum" ended George Papandreou's career. I came out very strongly against the referendum because I saw it as a crass political maneuver to create "consent" by offering the people a choice that was too narrow to be meaningful. Does that mean I am afraid to hear what the Greek people have to say? No. I just want to make sure we ask the right question. And that, in turn, requires an honest presentation of the alternatives available.
