The Greeks fear that if they leave the eurozone then they'll
be so isolated that they may even end up in war.
The other European leaders fear that if Greece leaves the eurozone,
then it will begin a domino effect, and any other country that gets
into trouble in the future (Spain, Portugal, Italy) will solve the
problem by leaving the eurozone.
Nobody wants to go down in history as the person who destroyed
the eurozone.
