People like me and Jim, yes, but their "supporters" have been actually 
caught, as of Obama's reelection, stating that they are considering 
leaving the horrible, socialist, etc. US, to move back to Europe.

They think:

1. We are weak, if not feared vs. the reality that scaring some of them 
is what makes them want to kill us.

2. Europe is, depending on what they are talking about, a golden 
paradise, or a worse disaster than the US. Its never the less, somehow, 
less corrupted than the US is.

3. Russia is still the biggest threat we have (one reason why one of the 
newest movie to come out is going to be a remake of Red Dawn, a cold war 
flick, where small town heroes hold off Russian troops, who got help 
from Mexico to invade the US, in the back end of no place, until the 
real troops finally took notice of all the damn parashoots that got 
dropped all over the place, and wondered, "I wonder why all of them had 
Russian flag on them?"

I could go on, but.. basically, we are talking about weapon's grade 
ignorance and stupidity here.
