"America also sees Europe as excessively inward looking, sometimes dangerously so... "

Well, once again our European allies try to define us in the U.S.

I think their are some more basic reasons, other than anti-semitism and "multiculturism".

The one main point is, that for the most part, Europe is a socialist conglomerate; and if there is one irrefutable fact, it is "Socialism doesn't work"...not for long, anyway.

The other point is - at least all WE hear - is how much the Europeans "hate" Americans. I'm still trying to figure out why; I mean we've been on their side and pulled them out of the fire during a couple of world wars, sent them a gazillion bucks in Foreign aide, and totally rebuilt their countries after the wars...but, they still hate us.

Then, I got to thinking about a nephew of a friend of mine...spoiled rotton, always had everything he wanted; he didn't appreciate anything. Then when time came for him to make it on his own, he pouted. He then proclaimed to "hate" his parents...all because he wasn't getting what he wanted, and getting his way anymore. All because he was expected to make it on his own.

Well, maybe that's not unlike the Europeans. The teat is not as readily available as it once was.

But, on the other hand it may be just that the liberal media "brethern" from the US have fed so much trash to their european counterparts, that europe is buying into the liberal trash our media puts out, and it's the only view they have of us.

However, let Europe keep going like it is, and they'll all be wearing Burkas in a few years anyway.

It's not uncommon for enablees to hate their enablers. In fact, it seems to be the rule.
