Few doubt that US ratings agencies contributed greatly to the global financial crisis. Europe is now worried that the euro could also fall victim to credit downgrades -- and is exploring the possibility of creating its own ratings agency.

It was neither tax evaders in Greece nor hedge funds that caused Europe's existential crisis -- political leaders in the euro zone share a great deal of the responsibility. They have been either unwilling or incapable of doing their jobs.

Com a crise financeira européia, está se dando um passo a mais no avassalamento da Europa. Com o Tratado de Lisboa, a Europa entregou sua defesa à Organização do Tratado do Atlântico Norte (OTAN): acabou-se o velho sonho de uma defesa européia independente. E agora, com uma política financeira controlada pelo FMI, a UE renunciou a um pilar essencial de sua independência. Sem a defesa e a moeda, não lhe resta nada para afirmar sua independência dentro do bloco ocidental e frente ao resto do mundo.

Jean-Claude Juncker's and Giulio Tremonti's common European bond is the first constructive idea since the outbreak of the eurozone financial crisis a year ago. It is the first time that eurozone leaders have dared look beyond the current week's newspaper headlines. I have no doubt that, if implemented in full, the proposal would end the crisis.

Many observers assign a large part of the blame for the 2008 financial crisis to the "big three" credit rating agencies, which gave their AAA seal of approval to worthless investments. Now those same agencies are helping to bring the euro zone to its knees -- and no one is trying to stop them.
