that is the stupiest thing i've seen,guess Geir and co. got what they were trying to do!turning the heads to the other direction from the real problems,that the Independand party who has been in charge since 1991,are the once responsible for the troubled situation in Iceland!

................................................................................................

In Reykjavik, anger was mounting among Icelanders over political moves in the 1990s to liberalise the financial markets, seen as the cause of the current problems.

Observers say the coalition government of Icelandic Prime Minister Geir Haarde risks implosion.

Haarde's Independence Party is being widely blamed for having deregulated the market without providing any safeguards.

"There is an underlying anger against the Independence Party, which has been in power since 1991 and which used to be headed by the current governor of the central bank (David Oddsson) who, in a way, brought on this crisis," Reykjavik University professor Torfi Tulinius said.

The Independence Party's coalition partner, the Social Democrats, could try to benefit from the growing discontent, he said.

Since the prime minister on Monday addressed the nation in a rare televised address, Reykjavik has taken a series of steps aimed at resolving the crisis.

But it announced Wednesday it would no longer continue efforts to shore up its currency, a day after it tried to peg the krona to the euro.

The krona has lost half its value against the euro since the beginning of the year.

The Atlantic nation's economy is largely based on its financial sector. The assets of the country's three biggest banks are nine times the country's gross domestic product (GDP).

In 2007, Iceland's GDP was 1.29 trillion kronur (8.25 billion euros, 11.7 billion US dollars). The current crisis therefore threatens the country's entire economy.

Haarde said Wednesday the island's economic recovery would take "years."
