Perhaps?

Perhaps if we had let the banks fail, arrested the bankers and thrown them in jail, like they did in Iceland, then we would be much better off as a nation today than we are. Iceland had the right idea when faced with a financial crisis and the people had the guts to stand up to do something about it, helping to make them a stronger country. Where is that in America today, have we lost our will to do what should be done? Have we lost the will to make the hard choices? Have we lost the will to throw those that had screwed us over for years, either out of office or into prison where many of them belong? Have we lost the will to be the once great nation we were? Or have we just become a complacent people that allows business and government to kick us around as they wish?
