The prime minister Geir H. Haarde tells the AP reporter “I don’t feel personally responsible”

Prime minister Geir H. Haarde met with key executives and owners of Landsbanki (and one assumes the other two banks, too) well before the collapse of the financial system; he’s a former minister of finance; his political party introduced and oversaw the privatisation of Iceland’s financial system that ended in disaster – yet, he claims to not be part of the problem.

Icelanders enjoy telling visiting foreigners on business how close knit the nation is and how meetings or decisions happen quickly as the people of the nation are well-connected to each other.

Yet, no one has a clue who is responsible when the house of cards comes tumbling down.
