You can't close the bank down entirely!
uh, yes you can
Technically the government could, but that would only worsten the situation once the banks fully open.
The whole idea is to ease tensions and maintain some confidence in the banking system.
If banks close totally they might as well declare martial law, which I am not sure what that would do anyway.
Sooner or later russia and china need to step in and save cyprus since cyprus declined EU help.
You are in complete denial, the banks are insolvent, almost every government is drowning in debt. There comes a point when the bailouts will stop because everyone has figured out it they don't work. How many failed bailouts do you really think it is going to take before even the dumbest person realizes they are not doing anything other than flushing more money down the toilet. The math has been clear that bailouts are idiotic for years, they have only been done to keep peoples confidence up, but if that no longer works ....
I think we may have finally reached that point, but if not, it won't be much longer.

New US territory anyone? The US should come in and rescue Cyprus. Sure we are broke but the government can print all the money it wants over here on this side of the Atlantic. 10-20 billion? That's peanuts.
They can set them up nice like Puerto Rico, a commonwealth US territory. The US can even build a nice new Naval base. Why turn to Russia or China, the good old USA can print them all the money they need.

A few questions about this. Do the workers pay to live in the camps? If so, how much? What kind of comforts do they have? What kind of work is it? Because honestly, 60 hrs a week @ $8.60US / hr might not be all that bad of income if most the cash goes right into the pocket.

There's more....
A Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) “urgent bulletin” being sent to Embassies around the world today is advising both Russian citizens and companies to begin divesting their assets from Western banking and financial institutions “immediately” as Kremlin fears grow that both the European Union and United States are preparing for the largest theft of private wealth in modern history.
According to this “urgent bulletin,” this warning is being made at the behest of Prime Minister Medvedev who earlier today warned against the Western banking systems actions against EU Member Cyprus by stating:
“All possible mistakes that could be made have been made by them, the measure that was proposed is of a confiscation nature, and unprecedented in its character. I can’t compare it with anything but … decisions made by Soviet authorities … when they didn’t think much about the savings of their population. But we are living in the 21st century, under market economic conditions. Everybody has been insisting that ownership rights should be respected.”
Medvedev’s statements echo those of President Putin who, likewise, warned about the EU’s unprecedented private asset grab in Cyprus calling it “unjust, unprofessional, and dangerous.”
