As a Western European I strongly disagree. You cannot even judge the whole
issue upon Western Europe as we are not *yet* the United States of Europe.
France, where I am living right now is maybe having many troubles right now,
*maybe*. Other contries do not, like
you have a different situation in different states.

I am well aware of the problems in my country, I am not aware of those in
your country.

But if I would dare judging your country on the information I get from the
media, believe me I would not talk to you.
***Most important point: If I would make the mistake to judge any people
according to their governement I could not even talk to myself!!!*******

As you might have gasped I have acquainted the French sensitiveness to
critics! So be aware ;)
