Foreign Affairs: Is the Greek stability package stable enough?

This week’s €750 billion stability package appears to have stemmed the Greek debt crisis. But will the massive rescue plan be enough to stave off a repeat in the future? Efforts to cap the oil spill in the United States have so far failed. What impact will this environmental disaster have on energy policy in the US? And does Britain’s electoral system need a radical overhaul? WRS’s Adam Beaumont is joined by regular contributors Matthew Stevenson, Daniel Warner from the Graduate Institute, and Stéphane Bussard from Le Temps:

I don’t know should I start laughing or crying. This whole thing with Greece is unbelievable. If someone makes a scam (Murdoch or numerous like him) they usually go to jail, but if a county makes a scam, then it is rewarded with 120 billion euros? Strange. This is our reality we have to live with. May God have mercy on us.
