You know guys, Europe isn't perfect.
Europe has plenty of its own problems. Surely that's clear with what we've seen in Greece and Iceland, amongst other nations.
Frankly, if your argument is simply "Let's do what those other guys are doing. Who cares if some of them have just about bankrupted themselves, we should follow them anyway" that's not a terribly compelling argument.
If you want to convince people of a particular policy idea, then argue for the merits of the policy itself. You don't need to point to other countries to prop it up. A good idea is a good idea no matter where it originated from.
