It's almost as if the German government - who is one of the primary creditors for Greece, and one of the least willing to bend - has either forgotten, or is consciously ignoring their own economic history. I wonder how long it will be until the greeks are using wheelbarrows full of Deutschemarks Drachmas to get a loaf of bread.

Indeed. What's the saying? "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely"?As for Germany, it seems that people in power tend to act like people in power, regardless of their history.
