Mark Steyn explains the difference between Americans and, well, pretty much the rest of the world.

I've been telling people for years that the American government is the longest-lasting coherent government (England has gone from a parlimentary monarchy to a parliment with a monarch, somewhere) in the world. Nice to see that I'm not alone in my appreciation.

Europeans are the idiot spawns of past generations that couldn't figure out how to get on the boat.
