The simple answer? It's because we're neighbours.
This sort of thing isn't just confined to our two countries. The same thing happens between Belgium and France, New Zealand and the Australia, China and Japan, and many other countries. Think of it like living with a roommate for several hundred years, and you start to see why there is some animosity. I'm just happy we don't have a relationship like Israel and its neighbours do.
Besides, do these people who flame either side (we burn the Americans just as much as they burn us) have the gall to state their opinions face to face? I doubt it. Leave them in their protective coccoon, surrounded by anonimity, and recognize them for the cowards they are.
