Schadenfreude
To bad -- Europe is going down the tubes. In spite of what you've heard from a thousand "news" sources regarding America's hegemonic power and simultaneous decline, it appears that the pointing fingers of Euro-socialism are missing a lot of the flaws in their own back yard.
I actually miss the days when most Europeans prided themselves regarding their friendship with America -- they were certainly more appreciative then for the money and corpses donated to salvage them from their own misguided "experiments" in political idealism. I do have to qualify such emotive statements with my usual acknowledgment that, indeed, not all Europeans are socialist boot-lickers of the omnipotent state, but a good many are, and some of their guiding philosophies and leaders are about as free thinking as a Communist Internationale'.
"...From cradle to grave was their promise; and little by little, the graves started outnumbering the cradles..." -- an excellent and brief overview of Europe's "Slow Death."
