european debt crisis, page-21

you're probably right in your assessment of the french bzh except to say that every major financial/economic crisis in history may be too big to let happen ,but that doesn't mean it won't happen .Sometimes the magnitude /depth of the crisis is too powerful to stop , and trying to stop it can make it worse when it does hit .As far as the euro goes on any reasonable assessment it does look doomed , but you're right in that some politicians will probably do whatever it takes
