This is the year in which Europe will either fall apart or emerged stronger. I give it 75% that it emerges as a stronger union but the risk of collapse is still there. Germany has the key to solve the problem because of the size of its economy, its saving rate and its export volume. Germany has to decide on whether it continues to transfer some of its wealth in order to create markets for its exports or it let’s Europe fall apart and ends up with an overvalued currency and deteriorated markets. Already today it started paying negative interest rates which is a prelude in my view to a huge rise in the DM should it be born again. Tough choice. I think Germany can actually both save Europe and make money by buying underpriced Italian and Spanish bonds and selling them after stabilization. It can do what the FED did with many financial institutions, make a profit by providing much needed liquidity at a critical time.

Loved the idea that the Iraqi people might decide something instead of American politicans…
CNN’s Anderson Cooper interviewed an Iraqi based reporter on CNN last night who pretty much laid out the truth/bad state of affairs in Iraq as a result of the American Invasion. George Bush seems to be operating out of Colin Powell’s pre-invasion words to GWB – “If you break it you own it” instead of as you say, the dictator is gone and there are no weapons of mass destruction – job finished, go home.
I loved your suggestion about an referendum. Seems to me that the USA has attached other objectives…don’t you think.
At present there is emotional blackmail going by some in the US saying that if you don’t support more troops and the War you don’t support the American soldiers. I saw footage of a US soldier defending the mission. He justified it saying stay the course so his friends/fellow soliders did not die in vain…
It is a sad to me that Americans are misfeed so much information if they even watch/read the news. And we don’t get how obnoxious we are to the rest of the world which includes our kind hearted Christians.
