So now you are an expert on Europeans.
I have been to Europe.
The place is loaded with people who have a hopelessly provincial world view .
And they think they know Americans well because they have watched a lot of our movies.
They are mostly Democratic right now, but with the exception of Greece and Switzerland this is pretty recent, and only Switzerland seems to have found a formula for stability.
Are you not sure that democracy is present in places like Italy and Germany because there were Americans force feeding it to them one generation ago?
Are you certain that democracy doesn't exist in places like Poland because there was American influence and threat?
The end of WWI demonstrated the value of European style diplomacy, The aftermath of WWII demonstrated the value of a much more intrusive, assertive American presence.
You know ,I suppose , that European diplomats almost killed Woodrow Wilson ?
