05 July 2015 for query 1, the answer is politics. Eurozone while has been able to create a economics zone, politically it remains a group of diverse interest. Plus with a socialist party winning elections in Greece and siding with Russia, the capitalist economies are not that interested to support a socialist regime,

For query 2, the creditors have already taken a lot of cuts on Greece exposure. IMF should not at all step into Greece's shoes for this. Because once you bailout one country, hundreds will line up.
