In regards to the "Savior of Europe" thing, Europe was saved by the efforts of several nations, most of them European. Any nation that was one of the Allies can call themselves the Saviors of Europe. In my opinion, anyway.

Anywho, about making fun of nations. Personally, I don't see a problem with making jokes about different nations. As Blizzaga said, there's a difference between joking and insulting. I'm fairly confident that a lot of French stereotypes are on the insult side of the line.
