The German parliament is set to approve a new multibillion euro bailout package for Greece on Monday, but instead of thanks, southern Europeans are expressing their dislike of us. Germans will have to get used to their new role: We have become the Americans of Europe.Since then the German parliament has approved the most recent bail-out package but the abuse from southern Europe will, undoubtedly, continue. I suppose, there is a funny aspect to it all.

I don't think we should become lachrymose just because southern Europeans currently dislike Germans. Without Germany the euro would have been more suited to these southern Europeans. Actually without Germany there probably would not be a euro anyway.
