Europe: Is it time to break up this marriage? -

Term Sheet
This summer trips to Europe opened my eyes to something: There's a lack of passion in Europe for keeping the euro.
Yes, the pain of a breakup would be severe. But many of the poorer
southerners of Europe don't seem to feel that they need "Europe"
anymore.
That, at least, is the way it appeared to me after spending time
recently in Malta, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium -- and even the Berlin
airport. These Europeans are proud of being Maltese and Sicilian. Proud
of being citizens of greater Europe? Not so much.
