Thank god some one here has a less stereotypical view of us Eurpeans. I'm British and i am very proud to be British, I have to disagree with many who say that Europe is in the wrong. I first of all ask you to consider that maybe these US-EU poor relations are to do with fear, being a military man it's easy to see the US doesn't want a counter weight power ( as the EU is slowly but surely becoming). of course the europeans dont want a US that is equally as powerfull.

Secondly i'd like to mention to any Americans reading that Britain itself is no fan of the EU and have always been the island nation away from Europe and generally causing them problems. i can only hope with our PM's EU presidency comes better relations with the US, as whilst serving in the gulf it was clear the majority of American and Brits are both great people living in two great nations!
