#1 So that means Ireland can keep printing zillions of Euros to pay off it's debts to Germany and France and debase the common currency in the process?

#2 Well, Europe was a laboratory that produced nothing but war for centuries. The last 60 years, not so much. So maybe they've got something there.

#3 Mr. Sarkozy: who elected you leader of this outfit? Does Merkel agree with your broad sweeping statements that imply that you and Germany will prop up the euro with your assets?

#4 Right now, I think that all that would need to be done to create a financial panic, would be pictures of a new currency to be unveiled, either a "New Euro", or a return to old national currencies.

Here's my idea for the New Deutschmark.

Featuring Otto Von Bismarck.

#7 Time to dust off all my old Francs and Lira(s), DM's.

I agree with Merkel. Could be with a rapid dissolving of the Euro the place could boil over, whether nations pissed at nations or just basic breakdown of military and police forces and bad guys rampaging about. Luckily for the average European nearly all have been disarmed for their own protection - wouldn't want to provoke the bad guys you know!

I don't think its at that point, but I am going to check my investments' connections. Again.
