I will never trust the Europeans. Most I ever met hate America.

Kinda harsh for an American one generation removed from Europe, isn't it?

I wish it was not so. But my experiences with Europeans is not good toward America. Yes there are some exceptions, but most of them don't like us.
European socialist see the US as the bastion of Capitalism and they wish our defeat as a rule. They resent American success over the Soviets and want to get even.
European nationalists are envious of a young nation as ours that has stepped in and removed them from world power status. The fact that their power was built on a house of colonial cards doomed to collapse is conveniently forgotten. They don't want to face their ugly past, and in focusing their anger on us, they can fool each other in to believing CIA conspiracies and other excuses for their demise.
