Americans put their faith in God and country. Europeans put their
faith in social welfare and civil society.

Yep. we're in agreement so far. . .

We believe in maintaining
an unrivaled military presence in the world. Europeans, by contrast,
emphasize cooperation and consensus over go-it-alone approaches to
