that sanity prevailed over pigheadedness. But I fail to see why the Germans didn't let the French and Italians bail out Greece without them, if they were so worried about wasting German money... because it wouldn't have shown Germany in a worse light than before, would it?

5% is actually a number close to German wishes than what would have made full sense. At least it's probably a number that Greece can live with.

It's a good compromise, overall, it can even be spun that way.
