There seems to be no end to Europe's list of complaints against the US. Why would you settle on just one?

Is it in your nature as a European? That's interesting. My first impression was that your governments were acting independently of its citizens. But your question clears up one thing for me: Why is it that so few Europeans care about their own government's unilateral action and malfeasance? Now, I know. Thank you.
