Who cares?
Let Old Europe stew in its own putrefaction and fade away.
If any of them try to swim to civization, we can hire some Iraqis to shoot them in the water; they're really good at that.
I think we should care. These countries are not merely misguided. They are actively working to harm our national interests. In other words they are behaving like enemies. If we are to thwart them it is important to understand why they are doing what they do. "Know your enemy" is the first rule of war.
