Daylight robbery in Cyprus will come to haunt EMU ... One's first
reflex is to gasp at the stupidity of the EU policy elites, but truth
is that most EU officials handling the Cyprus crisis know perfectly well
that their masters have just set the slow fuse on a powder keg – and
they can only pray that it is slow. The decision to expropriate Cypriot
savers – even the poorest – was imposed by Germany, Holland, Finland,
Austria, and Slovakia, whose only care at this stage is to assuage
bail-out fatigue at home and avoid their own political crises. – UK

Dominant Social Theme: This Cyprus thing was a terrible mistake.
Free-Market Analysis: Did the Eurocrats
miscalculate? This is the message now being sent by a number of
respectable mainstream columnists as well as alternative journos.
There is perhaps some truth to it. Ambrose Evans-Pritchard – who
wrote the above excerpted article – points out that German Chancellor
Angela Merkel is facing both bailout fatigue at home and an upcoming
national election.
