I don't think anyone is blaming Europe for causing Greece's problems (no reasonable people anyway; everyone knows what a clusterfuck it's been for ages), but plenty of reasonable people are blaming Europe for exacerbating Greece's problems. A good rule of thumb for life, not just finance and politics, is that solutions need to be better alternatives than the problems they're ostensibly solving.
