To me this story looks a lot like Word War I and the Crimean War, to talk about other European tragedies: everyone saw the disaster coming, but everyone that could have made something to prevent it didn't do it because he/she thought that it was just too bad to happen and in the end sanity would magically prevail. I thing the tragedy will repeat itself. It is possible that the common currency will crash and some countries will get out of the European Community. But the European Community will survive. Remember, before the European Community, all the biggest wars in history either happened in Europe or were started by Europeans: Crusades, colonialism in Africa and Asia, genocide of Native Americans, Napoleonic wars, WWI and WWII, ... After the European Community the only wars in Europe were outside of the Community and the only really big tragedy with European initiative (Stalin's big famine) was also outside of it.
