A bomb has exploded outside a public building in the Patissia area of the Greek capital Athens, killing a man and injuring a girl, police sources say.

That's too bad and I hope this doesn't start a trend.

Could this be the first part of a revolt by the "peasants" of the world.

Erm just for the record ... the Patissia area of Athens is near the center and is quite the nice urban neighborhood. In fact I grew up quite near there. Not much in the way of either farms or peasants in the vicinity.
From what I read in the article they're still not sure who is responsible or who the intended target was, so perhaps calling it the first part of 'peasants' doing anything is a little premature.

Is this the beginning of the revolution? Perhaps this is part of the revolution that seems to have started in the US already? Perhaps this is what will fuel the groups elsewhere to do the same?

Well its no 911 for Greece yet.
That will take quite a lot for the alqeda brain trust to do anywhere again.

What has non-violent protest ever achieved? The words of proletariats mean nothing to politicians who are much more adept at language.

Then again, I have always said that "dissent within the law" is an oxymoron of staggering proportions. I just cannot see the growth, change, or evolution of consciousness in replacing one bloody paradigm with another bloody revolution.
