My list would have Britain first, Israel second, and France dead last. Yes, that's right. I even like North Korea better, because I at least no for sure whose side they're on.

Ping.

It is only natura that that the US would have more affinity with the other children of Albion.
The US was created by the British colonists. It is our history and heritage.

[PureSolace]

I personally Like South Korea... They turn out the best StarCraft players in the universe... And are always a fun challenge in any RTS. :) God Bless the Koreans! :)

[GeronL]

No-one asked me!!!

UK, Israel, Taiwan, Australia, Canada, Japan....

[Cicero]

Americans are very slow to change. Australia, Great Britain, and Canada are all English-speaking and therefore seem closer to most Americans. I suspect Australia is at the top because at least some Americans are happy with them for their recent support, and Canada is third because some Americans are unhappy with recent developments.

Ninth place isn't bad, considering the constant bad press Israel gets in this country and the very negative opinions of radical leftists.

I'd be curious to see the whole list. Most Americans probably looked favorably on France up until Chirac let the cat out of the bag about how France feels about us. Lafayette, we are here and all that. I wonder where France stands now? A good deal lower than two or three years ago, I'm sure.

[cynicom]

Canada???? No one likes Canada.

[Alouette]

Countries liked for what reason? As nice places to visit?

Italy, Israel, Spain, Greece, Aruba, Canada (the Western provinces), Ireland.

[dangus]

1st:Australia
2nd:Britain
3rd:Canada
9th:Israel.
Hmmm... I think I see a pattern!
4th: Denmark
5th: Egypt
6th: Fra... no, Finland. Pretty sure France isn't in top 186. (There are 187 countries last I knew.)
7th: Greece
8th: Holland
Funny weighting: Britain is 2nd, Scotland is 18th, Wales is 22nd, but UK overall is only 20th.

How in the world did that socialist, American-hating, French-butt-kissing country Canada make #3? What a travesty.

[smpc]

1.New Zealand
2.USA
3.UK
4.Israel

6.Greece(for shaping Melbourne culture)
7.Ireland(for both of above)

Dishonourable mentions to South Africa and Zimbabwe,but thanks for the new Australian citizens.

I'd like to visit Germany but don't think I want to live there, same goes with most Scandanavian countries. I can live in England or the Netherlands, Italy or France. I can also see myself living in Namibia,Zambia,South Africa,Seychelles, even Madagascar. Definately if given the opportunity I can live in New Zealand or Australia. I'd have to investigate the Pacific Isles first. Right now I'm here in the USA but if I won a lotto, that wouldn't be so :)

[Clemenza]

Clemenza's Top 10: Italy, Spain, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Costa Rica, Poland, Israel, Switzerland, Turkey, Chile.

My choices are guided both by those nations foreign policy and my personal experiences with the respective peoples and lands. While I appreciate Britain's support of the US in the past century (sometimes for less than altruistic purposes), I've never really cared for Brit culture and the weather in London during the summer made Seattle look tropical by comparison.

[Celtjew Libertarian]

Is it too late to get in on this one?

My top ten countries, in sort of geographic order:

Ireland
Scotland

The Netherlands
Denmark
Czech Republic
Israel

Hong Kong
Japan

Second Ten: Canada, Wales, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Kazakhstan, South Korea.

[realpatriot71]

I've always wanted to go to the Holy Land, but considering current events, I may never make it. It's got to be better than the UK - for sure!
