Don't you watch american movies? Americans are cowboys that live in a state of semi-anarchy held in check only by vague notions of morality, duty, and utter disregard for all non-americans.

Well you know, I think the one thing we can agree on, and it's probably why Brits and Americans have a "special relationship" - is that we both think we're better than everyone else.
It's kind of true, though.

Oh that's nonsense. Everyone likes Americans. It's just fashionable to pretend to hate them because they happen to be the global hegemon right now.

British popular opinion of America hovers around 50% favorable. The same can be said of Canada despite Americans having around a 95% positive view of Canada.
I have to give props to France, their domestic defense industry is capable of building all their military hardware domestically and they aren't afraid to tell us to buzz off. Probably they reason they are our oldest Ally.
