& now Peter Steinbrück (German Finance Minister) will lose his job due to the election - probably the urgency & publicity will fade away.
Additionally,
the US got their pound of flesh from UBS,
in the UK Gordon Brown has more pressing issues & probably has a short future anyway
Let's hope so anyway. I find myself coming to the conclusion that the US and the UK are losing credibility with each passing day, and this is a good thing. Both have allowed a lot of trash to pile up in their houses, which will take at least a decade to dispose of. In order for them to perform their chores, they will need to clip their own wings and cease their incesant aquisitiveness, which would be another positive both for themselves and the rest of the world.
