(62,325 posts)who caused the disaster here and in Europe, do not want to hear about anything rational that benefits t he people.
Iceland chose to do what hopefully Greece will do, and Iceland, despite all the dire warnings of how they would fail, is the ONLY country currently rebounding. They took care of business, arresting corrupt politicians and bankers, and making sure the people did not pay their gambling debts. Yes, it was difficult to recover from the corruption, but they maintained their sovereignty.
Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal, France et al have to decide, if things are going to be difficult no matter what they do, do they want a difficult recovery period WITH their sovereignty intact, or a difficult period with someone else running their countries and dictating who their leaders are. People have fought wars to maintain their sovereignty. So we'll see.
But the last people in the world to be listening to at this point, are the Merkel/Sarkozys and their cronies who have failed so miserably to improve anything for millions of people, while protecting the banksters. Their way has failed. Time to try something more rational than forcing ordinary working class people to pay the gambling debys of Wall Street criminals. Looks like the people are making their voices heard where they cannot be ignored anymore.
