Sorry for defacing your post, but I've highlighted the key word in your post.
This is what everyone seems to be missing. We CAN'T fix it for them, THEY have to WANT TO FIX IT, then we can lend them support while THEY DO IT.
Sorry but the handouts (And yes Bruv, the interest payments) need to stop, they aren't really helping, they are just making a few wealthy crackpot dictators a lot more wealthy.
