This WSJ op/ed is one of the nicest reality check commentaries I have seen on the panic over this recession.

The WSJ has a nice article on the collapse of the Icelandic banking system (and the global consequences). Essentially, Icelandic banks offered attractive interest rates overseas (in the vicinity of 7%), attracted deposits in large quantities and was able to sell bonds, then collapsed. Ultimately, there wasn't enough foreign currency in the country to pay off those who expected to have their debts repaid. The article only gave glimpses of what happened to the money that flowed into Iceland, wC'è la crisi, sempre più chiese in vendita

The most thoughtful and interesting debate of the two-year-long presidential campaign occurred last August at Saddleback Church between John McCain and Barack Obama, moderated by Saddleback pastor Rick Warren. So it is notable that President-elect Obama's choice of Rick Warren to give the invocation at his Inauguration next month has brought forth hyperpartisan invective from the Democratic left.
