Europe in the Hands of the Insane.

It's official - after the much vaunted telephone conference between France, Germany and Greece the fate of Europe is the hands of a few suicidaly insane politicians. Faced with a choice between forgiving Greece its debts or dismantling the Euro, the leaders of Europe have opted to do neither. "It's a matter of politics," our political editor tried to explain. "Europe is like a truck careering out of control. One politician is in charge of the break but can't use it for "political" reasons. Another has his foot on the accelerator and can't ease off for "political" reasons. As for the politician with his hands on the steering wheel - he's blindfolded for "political" reasons. And the real reason for all this? For the word "politics" read "ideology." Instead of politicians taking actions based on pragmatic reasoning they are bound by the insanity of the neocon wet dream - the idea that the capitalist system is not run by demand but by how little the rich pay in tax and how low wages can be forced down." If readers don't find this article to be particularly funny, that's because it isn't.
