I can't think of many things that Western Europe does that we should emulate. Their crime, unemplyment rate, taxes, economies etc are all worse than the United States. The things that they do partake in that I would like to see here are being prevented here by those of the same political views that run those European countries (liberals). An example of this would be the use of nuclear power. We are one of three coutries with the most nuclear facilities in the world..yet we are prohibited from actually using them. So...no...I would hope to GOD that we don't become like Europe. (no offense to you Europeans here).

Also..Australia was a rather nice country..at least it seemed so to me when I was there. They have been an ally of the U.S for quite a while as well.
