The similarities are too disturbing.
Oh, don't fool yourself. You think we've got political differences here? Look at how many parties are trying to get playtime in the EU area, not to mention their growing religious-based conflicts across the region (anti-Semitic violence in France, for example). The US political system has NOTHING that compares to how much has to be resolved to make the EU survive, let alone succeed.
