The general consensus seems to be, as expected, that US citizens are NOT hated, but their government's appalling foreign policy is detested by most. Incidentally, referring to US citizens as "Americans" is misleading - Canadians are Americans and so are Chileans.
The UK has a lousy foreign policy, with Blair licking Bush's hand, and I think we ordinary Brits will suffer for that. English football hooligans have caused much resentment abroad, which is why I only have the European Union stars on my number plate but not the country of origin. I'm not English and I dont want the blame!
So every country has its dorks and ignorant farmhands who should be drowned in a bucket and who make us cringe.
Vive la France
