(146,373 posts)Some people in Europe were very concerned when GWB became President, no doubt. Others were not. Same here in the US. There is no single opinion held by Europeans about anything, any more than there is here. Your concept of some sort of universal "European identity" is what's mistaken. There is no such thing. Europe is a very large place, made up of many countries, each with its own political conflicts and concepts. Trying to apply some uniform definition is a waste of time. Even if you look at Europe nation by nation, there is no unanimity within the individual nations in terms of what people's political beliefs are. You're trying to place some sort of model of "Europeans" in front of us. It is an inaccurate and flimsy model that will fall apart in the slightest breeze. From the neo-Nazis in Scandinavian countries to the pure Socialists in the same countries, you're trying to tell me that "Europeans" all share the same view of global issues. You are mistaken.
