Meltdown, volcano: Icelanders ask, 'what next?'

HVOLSVOLLUR, Iceland — It took Sigurdur Thorhallsson more than a decade to turn a patch of flat land wedged between glacier and ocean into a field fit to grow fodder grass. It took Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull volcano just minutes to wreck it.

    We really should help these people...


    By getting them to join Canada, thereby giving us access to Europe where our stability and better economy and currency will help us dominate that continent economically. :D

    Heh, and pay for Greece's economic drama, and after that, Spain and Portugal? Oh, and of course Iceland :)

    Hell no.

    I'll vouch for Turks and Caicos though.

    Iceland is most likely going to be taken over by the UK or Russia. I just don't see it lasting as an independent country given their staggering debt.

    But I would not mind seeing the US annex Iceland and assume their debt if only for the fact that these good people would then become my countrymen and women.

    Probably another volcano will erupt. Iceland has a lot of them and most of them erupt with more violence than the latest one.

    They do have a different 10x larger volcano that likes to dual erupt with this one.

    Too bad they don't really want that anymore and we squandered our three chances.

    And Brenda, who said Canada would join the EU? We'd just be a part of the European Economic Area by having Iceland. That way, our stable, resource-backed currency will keep us strong and we use Iceland as a jumping point into Europe avoiding certain tariffs and such. :wink: :D
