That article gives a very simplistic and inaccurate (or at best imcomplete) basis for anti-Americanism.
What I like about these articles, especially as concerns the opinion of Europe, is that somehow the outsiders are viewed as seing us from a vantage point of moral superiority.
Europe is like the spoiled teenager, living in a false sense of security, trying to triangulate their interests vis a vis their relationship with us and their growing Islamic populations. They have not had to provide for their own security for 1/2 century, so they can take the so called "high road" when it comes to international politics. Moreover, their lack of courage is certainly evidenced by their tendency towards appeasement. They are in decline.
The real story for the future of civilization will be America and the East. India, Pakistan, China and perhaps Russia. Europe is living off the legacy of the past.
Not to deny that we have some serious decadence here.
