Ever since the Greek debt crisis began no country has been more aggressive in demanding its pound of flesh than Germany, and its flinty chancellor Angela Merkel.
Merkel has made it clear that she wants the Greeks to be punished, not just for the money they owe, but also for having the temerity to vote for a left-wing anti-austerity government.
Even though no country has less of a moral right to inflict pain on Greece.
Not after what the Germans did to that country during the Second World War.
