An Excellent Article...

From conservativehome today -- Andrew Lilico on the inevitable Greek exit from the Euro. A great analysis, with a tone of restrained despair. 

Most heartbreaking, frustrating line:
"That places us in the rather ghoulish position of hoping that, if the Greeks exit the euro, matters go very badly for them - civil war, perhaps; social unrest following the collapse of the banks; food exported to pay for energy imports, leaving Greeks hungry (a la Romania in the 1970s). That is the invidious position we are likely shortly to face. Mercifully for us - though not for the Greeks - I suspect things in Greece will go very badly indeed."
