Building on CKNSLS's post, I'd probably say that the world has changed. Europe may turn their nose up at we Americans, similar with Japan... but we all are in the same boat.
I was worried about Japan back in the late 1980s/early 1990s, because around then, they were all but unstoppable, with US workers being told that they were not getting jobs due to being lazy compared to their Japanese counterparts (now, they are being told they are not getting jobs due to being lazy compared to their Chinese counterparts... same message, just with another country that is cheaper to make stuff in.) Now, Japan is being menaced by China constantly. Were it not for the US acting as a mitigating power in the Pacific Rim keeping the peace, that whole area would have gone nuclear, and gone nuclear winter long ago.
