Greek Financial Debt Crisis Only Part of EU's Woes

Greek crisis has accelerated the European Union's crisis. The EU crisis began when they aborted the attempt to write a constitution where you could find ratification. They also tried to expand the EU to 27 members. These events terminated postwar Europe's attempt to establish a political federation.

However they could create a common currency, the euro. The euro had almost doubled the value of the dollar but is know falling back.

Much of this problems are now being accelerated by Greeks crisis.
