Buying a little more time

Doing whatever it takes has become something of a mantra when it comes to dealing with the euro-zone crisis.

"We want to do everything we can to save the currency," says the head of the European Central Bank.

"We want to do everything we can to keep the Greeks in," says the German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

"We want Germany to do everything - or nothing," says the international financier George Soros.

However, as Mr Spock from Star Trek was oft to say, euro supporters may find that having is not so pleasing a thing as wanting.
