Ballzor, I don't know where you get the idea that there is British hatred and anger against the US - Yes, there is a reasoned opposition to the foreign policy being conducted by the Allies in Iraq and elsewhere, but that opposition resides within the US as well, it is certainly not unique to the UK, nor is it, where it exists, directed solely at the US. The UK government gets it’s fair share of stick as well.
I work with both US and British citizens on a daily basis, and fail to see this 'strained' relationship you refer to. If anything, the UK and US relationship has been particularly strong recently in regards to events in Europe, and the continued cooperation between governments. I just don't recognise what you're talking about. The British public reelected the largely pro-Bush Tony Blair back into government only a month or so ago, I think if they'd been full of anti-US hatred and anger, that Blair may have not been so readily returned to Downing Street.
Yes, there will always be criticism of controversial policies and decisions, but that's freedom. Don't misinterpret considered criticism for 'hatred and anger', reserve that for the perpetrators of these horrible acts.
