DO Britons hate Americans ?

Given the post Iraqi war world, and the dragging of NATO forces by the US policymakers to stay longer in Iraq, has the resentment of the Anglo Saxons reached a new high ? :mad:

There are no NATO forces in Iraq. And if Brits hate Anglo-Saxons, that means they hate themselves...

I think they meant the Anglo-Saxons' resentment, not the other way around.

That still wouldn't make sense since Americans are also Anglo-Saxons...

Personally I dont think the public hate "Americans" as a whole but mainly Bush and his administration.

Not really. Hopefully rational people don't blame the average American for the war in the Iraq.
Silly question.

Why not? 51% of Americans voted for Bush after he started the war.

Less and less true...there are smaller numbers of European-Americans as a proportion of total population every year. Many cities, mine among them, have long had substantial non-European-American majority populations. California, by far the richest and most populous state, is now majority non-European-American. The face of power, for example, the US Senate, or millionaire men's club, is still European-American, and perhaps international students from the USA are mainly European-American, but the demography is fast changing.

I suggest you do some research on the 2000 election- this election was by no means a clear cut event, and that's an understatement.

Also, look into redistricting as a factor in the 2004 legislative elections...to put it baldly, gerrymandering, engineered by the powerful political machines of national fiugures such as Tom DeLay of Texas (compelled to resign from his position within the US Senate and currently under indictment).
