some other answers to america's financial worries, please welcome global editor-at-large for reuters kristia freemen. thank you so much. all right. are the polish guys right that if europe crumbles we could see war in ten to 20 years? >> war is probably not my biggest fear. >> stephen: really? what frightens you more than war. you are very tough. >> my biggest fear about yiewch today, it's not the most likely thing, but i think this is a huge crisis. i think this is potentially bigger than lehman in 2008, because the danger isn't just the run on the banks, which is what you had in the u.s., it's a run on countries, and you could have the dominoes fall. it started in greece, and now it's moved to italy and spain, which are really big countries. >> stephen: if you have a run on a country, you can't foreclose on a country. >> you can't foreclose on a country, but if, for example, there is a disorderly default in greece and people... and the greek banks all fail, you could have people in italy and spain saying, oh, my god, we're going to be next, pull all their money out of the banks of italy and spain,
