I am guessing that since Europe has far more recent experience with war and
it's effects on their people and their countries that this is causing them to
lean far more towards peace than people in the US.

Excepting 9/11, the last time military activity occured inside the 48 states
was the Civil War.  Nobody in the US has direct experience with the effects
of war on this country any more except some small number of people who served
overseas in places like Vietnam.  Where of course, the death and destruction
was mostly directed at the locals.
