Gus > History merely repeats itself... Certainly, if one sees the US as the tyrant and Western Europe, wherever that is, as the one seeking liberty. The rift, however, is conceptual as well as nationalistic and so we will find pro-US and anti-US factions as well as pro-present-EU-Constitution and anti-present-EU-Constitution in every country throughout Europe. It just happens that in France and the Netherlands, and possibly the UK although we may never know, the anti faction predominates. As I see it, in its present form, the EU Constitution is undemocratic, anti-nationalistic and impersonal and is consequently a recipe for voluntary enlavement to faceless politicians whoever they will be. And it's clear that Eastern Europe, after its USSR experience, believes anything the US has to offer has to be better then what it had. They may yet come to rue that idea.
