I was in the UK and Scotland last year. ALL were very friendly, all had a universal dislike of Tony Blair and GWB(none I talked to disliked 'Americans', just our leaders.). All were very well versed in US politics and all were amazed Arnold got elected as CA governor.
Quoted message said:
A choral group from the church I attend vistited France, and performed in the Luxemburg Gardens (?), near the central government in France.
Quoted message said:
They tell me the people were quite gracious, and all stood when they played the US national anthem.
So then you agree that it is not the Americans that they hate but our government. You didn't per chance ask them what they thought of what our government is doing did you?

What they think of the US government is largely what they've been taught to think about the US government. Plus I have to admit what the French think of the US government isn't an issue that keeps me up at night. I'll bet the average American's opinion of the French government isn't any better.
