Iron Ranger - unfortunately that's how most of the world see Pres. Bush. A naive cowboy warmonger...which just isn't true.

There was no offense intended. I was only trying to get across a point.

Actually most of the world's opinions of Americans are simply based on TV and movies we make...stuff like Judge Judy, Oprah, Rikki Lake or re-runs of baywatch, Beverly Hills 90210 etc.

Sometimes I do wonder about Americans myself. Whether or not we've sunken into a cultural wasteland

Heirophant - Aye I wish we lived in a utopian society but we simply don't. it's human nature to fight amongst ourselves. Distrust, greed, ambition, power are all human emotions that we can't eliminate.

Unless of course we all turn into cyborgs like on Star Trek

But as to the point of this thread...yes there are some irreconcible differences but nothing that is permanently damaging.

There are still some bumpy roads ahead between the US and Europe and I do see significant changes down the road.

But maybe it's better in the long run that the EU and the US begin to chart different courses.
