#1 And here is the sum of their problem: "in Europe, we still have complicated discussions..."
The unsaid part-
Unlike those dreadful Americans who go off half cocked and solve problems while there is still talking to do.

#3 Actually, that's not entirely true. Despite the fact that the French are actively aiding what they quaintly call the anti-US "resistance" in Iraq and elsewhere in the middle east, they are indeed badasses against jihadists on their own soil. The range of freedom that French prosecutors have in detaining, convicting, expelling jihadist suspects makes the Patriot Act look like child's play. Perhaps it's just French cynicism at work, but he French state takes an extremely hard line against terror-- so long as it's within French borders.
