A couple of interesting political articles on Arts & Letters Daily today: The book The Right Nation: How Conservatism Won is reviewed at Mother Jones. And in the Chroncle of Higher Education Sasha Abramsky ponders the American Dream and considers the roots of anti-Americanism.

Monolithic opinions such as "Europe is like" are of necessity simplistic. The reality is far more complex.

Touche'.

Guess I should have qualified with "in many ways" or "there are many among the Europeans who."

That being said, I will admit, my knowledge base is by no means that of an expert. But, I have read quite extensively on this very subject. Consider, for example Robert Kagan's ideas: http://www.policyreview.org/JUN02/kagan.html

(Should you find this interesing, I have others.)

Peace.
