America started this mess so it needs to fix it.

Wrong again, Ian. It is a character issue, and Greece fails. Greece's problems were created by Greece and they need to be solved by Greece. The only assistance it can hope for now is an adjustment of its past debts. Going forward, the best it can hope for is that its once burned, twice shy creditors will not demand too usurious of terms for any future lendings. And that will only happen if Greece cleans up its act.
The issue is whether/when Greece will be thrown out of the common market or whether/ when the solvent nations in the common market will themselves withdraw. It's interesting to see Germany and France on the same side.
Or, we could take a note from Saumuel Hearne and the HBC and give the entire Greek nation to a consortium of cruise trip and other private enterprises which are willing to work and know how to make a buck or two.
