Letting Greece into the EU was analogous to marrying someone who you fight with all the time under the assumption that "they will change" once you get married. Of course Greece didn't really change their spending ways and the fact that we are where we are now is only surprising in that it took so long to happen. I know a few funds who lost a fair bit of money because they predicted a default too far in advance.
