In the end, the Dutch will have to deal with the mutualisation of dept if they choose to stay in the Eurozone. I believe it's pretty much unavoidable as both Germany and France seem to already have agreed on the matter:

'The Dutch' didn't say that. Some Dutch people did.

Sure, that should really say the Dutch government - edited to say so, but the point stands - you should not generalise about entire nations being profligate, and you should not scapegoat certain groups of people as deserving of suffering.
The EU should be about solidarity, which includes economic solidarity. At its best it has pulled nations like Spain and Portugal from the brink of financial ruin after war/dictatorship to thriving democracies. At its worst it has consigned entire nations to collective punishment (Greece) just to play to domestic audiences in certain countries.
It's usually wrong to stigmatise groups as deserving of suffering and it is not in anybody's interest to do so.
The Dutch just don't want mutualisation of debt. That's not strange at all.
