The European Politicians 'mistakenly' view the strong Euro as a sign of confidence in it rather than weakness in the dollar.
This reminds me the story of 'The Ass Carrying the Statue'
The ass was being driven into town to the temple, with a great statue of a god on his back. Before too long, he noticed that everyone was taking off their hats and bowing as he passed by.
Now the foolish ass imagined that the people were bowing out of respect for himself and his head began to swell with conceit.
"Why should I be forced to carry on like this, if I am so important?" he thought to himself, and so he dug in his heels, let out a great bray and refused to take another step.
His driver at first could not make out what was making the ass behave in such a way, but when he realised what the problem was, he hit him very hard with his stick and yelled at him. "You vain and stupid ass, do you really think the people are worshipping you, a mere ass? Be on your way at once!"
