Well I wouldn't go to that extreme. Do the Americans want to ensure their companies have equal, if not greater, footing? Yes. But that's probably not any different than any other country. No one can say (with a straight face) that Europe, the major Continental players in particular, doesn't also play these sorts of games.
I'm willing to bet that if the situation were reversed, Europe would be just as disinterested in Open Skies as the Americans.
