It is astonishingly sad to me that the country from which Democracy was exported no longer has a say (or do they?)

  Greece does have a say. They can choose to secede from the EU, drop out of the Euro, and default on their debts. And then they'll have to live with the consequences. But democracy doesn't mean they can vote to force other countries to forgive their debts.

    History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes. Germany was in the same position wrt to the League of Nations after WWI.

If they want to stay in the Euro, then they can stay in the Euro but have to follow certain guidelines. If they want to do what they want to do then they can leave the Euro, but they should not complain when their overspending ways catch up to them and it all falls apart.
