The issue is twofold.
1. Our culture is Similar, but still very different in a lot of subtle ways. This makes us feel we're close, but it makes relations more difficult than relations within the country.
2. Americans seem to be by and large, more ignorant about whats happening in the world. European countries are fmailier with each others politics and culture, Canda is with America, Britain and France. America? well There concerned about America.
An interesting side note is that China is like the America of Asia. (except they pay attention to America here) The pay little attention to anyone else (cept maybe taiwan, but thats something different)
