Looks to me like the EU is over a barrel. If they take on the responsibility of bailing out their member countries, it could become a game of "last man standing" as PIIG countries succumb one by one. When they are all bailed out, then the other remaining countries in the EU start to become bailout candidates since their finances will have been eroded with all the bailout debt they have incurred. That's why citizens in countries like Germany are firmly against bailing out other countries. The EU is in a box but if they start down the bailout road, their very existence will be threatened - looks like the classic incremental suck-in.
