nytimes.com — REYKJAVIK, Iceland ? The collapse came so fast it seemed unreal, impossible. One woman here compared it to being hit by a train. Another said she felt as if she were watching it through a window. Another said, ?It feels like you?ve been put in a prison, and you don?t know what you did wrong.?

At least it hasn't yet become like Argentina, where retirement accounts were seized by the government and police fired into crowds of protesters:short video:<a class="user" href="http://digg.com/politics/Get_Ready_America_It_Could_Happen_Here">http://digg.com/politics/Get_Ready_America_It_Coul ...</a>long video:<a class="user" href="http://digg.com/business_finance/Argentina_s_Economic_Collapse_FULL_VERSION_2">http://digg.com/business_finance/Argentina_s_Econo ...</a>I'd recommend checking out the long video if you have the time (about 1 hour) - there are several parallels between Argentina (once one of the world's richest economies) and the US

Despite all this, Icelanders are naturally optimistic, a trait born, perhaps, of living in one of the world’s most punishing landscapes ...Also, Iceland has a highly educated, young and flexible population, and has triumphed after hardship before. America has an indoctrinated, brainwashed population that has not been hardship tested for over a generation. Economic crash in America wont be as peaceful as it has been in Iceland.
