If the Netherlands is "acting tough" on the Euro, then why is it encouraging the Greeks to drop it in favour of the drachma, leaving the Euro to rise and damage the competiveness of Dutch exports and trade? The Germans for all their complaing have benefited tremendously from the lower euro. The empire they have created over the years inside the EU has stayed intact with a communal currency. Should Greece leave the euro for a devaluing drachma, German revenues and assets from within Greece shall dwindle and fall. The Germans shall not easily forgive or forget the Dutch for their encouragement of this view, much to the future detrement of Dutch interests. The Germans are the big players in Europe based on real economic power, the Dutch have only their overgrown egos to fall back on.
