Acropolis Now

[Lemur]

A worthwhile read about how the bailout might and might not play out:

[W]hile the EU’s trillion dollars is surely sufficient to prevent any country from having to default in the next few years, I fear that its enormity will only exacerbate tensions between the euro zone countries over the long term. They’re not all partners together anymore: now they’re bifurcating into the rich lenders, on the one hand, and the formerly-profligate debtors, on the other. The mind-boggling sums involved are only going to increase resentments both of the south in the north and of the north in the south.

The current stock market likes it, but "solving" a debt problem by incurring more debt is just kicking the can down the road.
