Doug,
That's because you are in the US mostly reading US
media and lit. Everybody in Europe knows it is a big deal
and if you are there reading the local media at all for any
extended period of time it is very clear that it is a big
deal and that everybody knows it. It is a constant, almost
daily, topic of news and commentary in almost every EU
member.
You may be right about perceptions in the US, but then
it is well known in the rest of the world that most
Americans don't their asses from a hole in the ground about
anything outside the US, unless US troops or the British
royal family are involved.
