The Cypriot Stick-Up

The Diplomad rolled-in on the Cypriot Bank Crisis in his Welcome to Dogpatch post.
 
Argentina did something like this years ago.  When I asked about this, my questions drew the following responses:
 
Argentina was the one who did it.  Cyprus is pretty screwed, too. Just threatening to do it means no one will ever trust their banks again.  Also, if you can seize 10%, you can seize 100%.
 
Not only Cyprus—I think there will be ramifications for Italy, Greece, Spain and Portugal.
 
Agreed. No one is believing the "it's only this one time" line of BS! 
Meanwhile, political cartoonists see a common theme...
