Politically, it would be a big mistake for Germany to exit the euro, because that would reinstate the Rhine as the border between France and Germany.

That, in turn, would help in the fight against climate change, because forests store carbon.

Some companies even seem to celebrate the melting of the polar ice cap, because it will reduce the cost of extracting the oil that lies beneath the Arctic Ocean.

But, even then, it would be better for creditors to bear the loss than for taxpayers to do so, because this would encourage more cautious lending in the future.

even intimate friends will not inquire about their friends ,

And friend shall not ask of friend

and no friend will ask about his friend ,

And no friend will ask after a friend ,

The EU is understandably eager to support a pro European government in Serbia, for this might pave the way for Serbia to swallow the prospect of Kosovo s independence.
