Meltdown: Iceland on the brink - Europe, World - The Independent: "'The feeling is we are unable to look after our own affairs' says Hallgrimur Helgason, one of the country's leading novelists. 'We were on our own for years and we went too far, too fast, in too little time. We behaved like children and the first thing we did when the stock market opened 10 years ago was go to London and buy toy stores and candy stores. Now we are bankrupt and there will be no money for years to come and we have more debts than we can ever repay.
'We're just like kids whose parents went away for the weekend and we trashed the entire house.'"
