Damn shame that the greed of Americans and our investment/banking industry is bringing down those in other countries (and entire other countries, as well).
"Global warming" could heat things up and make the climate more tolerable.

As for "the greed of Americans" causing Iceland's bankruptcy -- I don't follow that argument. They are the ones who borrowed the money which they can't pay back now.

If I understand their situation correctly, Iceland's collapse is more like a "micro example" of what will be happening in the U.S.. Everyone, including the government, got too deep in debt and finally the whole system just collapses.
