In the original post there was a comment about the British view. Being a Brit i think i can shed some light on this.
Unfortunately many Brits are dead set against the war in Iraq. They see it as a way to nab a bit of oil and thats it. Our envolvement in the war as allies of the US might lead to the downfall of the current government. Tony Blair has lost SO much respect from being seen as George Bush's lap dog throughout his term in office. I don't know how many of you saw the film love actually but the image of the Prime Minister predecessor being submissive to the US and the new pm (Hugh Grant) standing up to him is one which most Brits would love to see.
I can't say anyone I have met dislikes the people in the US but there is some resentment for are apparent lack of back bone towards your government.
