European love equals revenge?

People, European tourists who come over to throw around their euro's don't do that out of spite or revenge. They love America! We Europeans love America... we love the culture, the juicyness, the grandeur, the larger-than-life hightened sense of reality, the real life decor whe already recognize from endless reruns of tv shows, starting from the days of old. Oh yes. We got Frank Marino and Mary-Beth Lacey engraved upon our souls as much as the next person.
Anything to get away from our gravitas.
That Hemingway and Gertrude Stein threw their money around in Europe once upon a time, well... more power to them. Who cares?
We also pay homage to the men that liberated us from nazism.
We do not, however, like people to start wars that have no justification and who suck half the world into a doomed project.
Anybody from mainland Europe who tells you he does not like the US or American culture either lies, or lies.
