I don't want to turn this into an essay, but let's not get ahead of ourselves; European policy tends to hold a religiously detached stance in many areas. This "hypocritical" behaviour is the result of a few people and for the most part, not of the governments. We should also note that moral high ground is a relative thing. Take Bush's stance on stem cell research (a very conservative allowance) for example. While most nonreligious people would agree that research is a neccessary step, it's certainly not a moral stance. Of course, the Kyoto Protocol is only partially helpful, and isn't an environmental policy that directly helps urbanites, and also France's position on Iraq probably has a lot to do with TotalFinalElf.

In other words, the Europe generalizations you're making are pretty unwarranted, I would say.
