The purpose of this thread is to identify enemies, to divide the world into "with us" or "against us". Who cares? And are there any "anti-American" countries out there? Is it not acceptable for another country to not like us? If they oppose our policies, how is that "anti-American"? Why take their opposition personally and make them an enemy?
Stupid destructive thinking, that's all this fishing expedition is.
I wouldn't put the UK on any list of "least anti-american" nations. I've dealt with hundreds of clients from the UK, and have a number of friends there. If you want to know the truth, many of them think of us as racist, gun-toting, semi-literate religious fanatics who were dumb enough to elect the likes of George W. Bush as president, and consider someone like Sarah Palin a serious candidate for President. I don't necessarily think it's an accurate description of us as a people, but there's some truth there.
Many people in the West Coast and Northeast states think this about the South, Lower Midwest, Texas, and Oklahoma.

Certainly not, when i was in Vietnam some 18 months after the sept 11 attacks, their were kids in the street trying to sell zipo lighters, which celebrated the attacks.
Basically you would start the lighter and these lights on the front if would light up, showing two planes crashing into a couple of buildings, they also had some showing pictures of osama bin laden, and others with american flags burning, i was really quite shocked.
As a frequent visitor who also speaks korean, i would certainly not put South Korea on the list either. If the attitude of the general population was the deciding factor.

I was about to say the same thing. Some Brits really have a negative stereotypical idea of Americans which shows their own ignorance. I was travelling with a bunch of them around Australia, and there was a group of Americans minding their own business and they were complaining about them merely because they were American. Now plenty of Brits love the States, but there is an element of 'oh no, not Americans!'
Australians overall have less of a problem with America, although ignorant attitudes are prevalent. The US has plenty of ignorant folk but don't think for a minute people from 'Australia is the best place to live and if you disagree get out' have any less.
No way South Korea. The young people there hate us with a passion. They've bought in ot hte leftist indoctrination that says that our troops there are responsible for the ongoing hostile repations between the North and the South.

This would be my list too. The Philippines should also be in there if we could make room for 6.
I would have had Japan in that list probably before Germany but certainly all of them.
