Comparing Europe and the US is like comparing apples and oranges. In addition to what tw pointed out, my personal opinion is that Europe can politely kiss our asses. Granted, we are a horribly arrogant country. And we have been chided over the World Court, Kyoto, etc. But who is responsible for widespread expansion of slavery before America began? Who held control of most of Africa until the mid-20th century? Where did the World Wars start?
Both sides are guilty of one thing or another, but Europe seems to be getting a US-style attitude that is already irritating to see on this side of the Atlantic. It's bad enough to have one country act like a turd, but for 15 with the power of one to do the same thing is damn near petty.
