I agree about the Muslim influence....but you are discounting that Europe has been becoming more and more secular by the minute. Also....where have all of these anarchist, communist,socialistic movements been born....Europe. It's such a hotbed of anti-establishment sentiment...and who more than the Catholic Church resembles this old-guard rule. They are very ant-big business and pro-worker, as well. The Euros forget the forces that led to their comfortable lives...Free market Capitalism has allowed for them to have their socialistic experiments. Yes....America's free market system...because America has allowed them to spend their money on social programs, and NOT their MILITARY. I say....the free ride is over....let them pay for their protection. NATO stands for: "North America and The Others." Obama wants to defer more power to Europe...well put your money where your mouth is! Pay up, and send your own troops to the world's trouble spots....then you have a right to dictate course of action! Oh....btw.....thanks Germany, for your 500 troops that you just ok'd for Afghanistan. Pathetic
