Well said. But there are some difficulties:
1. The American "Judeo-Christian" movement is completely unknown in Europe. Most Europeans understand themselves as Christians, but they see the Jewish religion as something completely different to their own belief. This has nothing to do with anti-semitism but with diverse interpretation and traditions.
2. If you stick closely to your friend/foe definiton America is forced to declare war to nearly all countries on this planet.
Of course this moron of a judge is unpleasant, but we should not take such things too serious. Nobody in Europe will arrest your soldiers. This idiotic decision is just irrelevant.

1) "Judeo-Christian/Human Civilization" indicates that "Judeo-Christian Civilization" is synonymous with "Human Civilization." [AKA "Western Civilization"] That is, without the essential Judeo-Christian foundation, every modern attempt at either simulating [EG Asian "tigers" -- (meow)] and/or sustaining [EG: increasingly secular and islamic Europe] civilization has either failed or has ended up with but a poor Xerox copy of Western Civilization -- and/or is doomed to fail.
2) America essentially IS at war with the world. But not because of our misdefinition of the enemy. The world [Around which, having fluency through better-than-working competency and literacy in about a dozen languages, I have travelled for more than 45 years -- and continue to travel] envies and despises America in hesperophobic ways that make much of what the world demonstrates pretty much indistinguishable from collective clinical insanity. And that cause states and groups of states, [The United Nations and the Euro-peon Neo-Soviet being the two major examples of those] often unconsciously, to emotionally and effectively support our terroristic and other enemies.
3) Many in Europe would jump at the chance of arresting any American on any pretense. And don't waste your time trying to convince me of the irrelevancy of this Spanish "judge's" [Malicious, frivolous and hostile] action. I'm a tough sell.
Instead try convincing Chile's savior, General Pinochet.
