Meanwhile, in the Independent, Dominic Lawson points out that George Osborne's decision to loan billions to Ireland is not a sentimental one - the two economies are entwined. Over at the Economist, Bagehot argues that the suggestion that Ireland should leave the euro and join a currency union with the UK is nonsensical. Elsewhere, a Telegraph editorial maintains that Washington has no choice but to work with China on controlling North Korea's nuclear power. Finally, in the New York Times, Paul Krugman suggests that Republicans have no intention of making the US governable unless they are governing it.
