While living in Italy and Austria I met no one who hated me or said anything bad about America. Below is a map of Europe and if anyone hates us is the political left because American has the courage to go it alone without getting permission from the Monarchs.

Most of Europe is with America and it is just the left that is losing power that has the problem.

I hear GW Bush is having dinner with the Queen of England next week and I wonder if he will bowwow down to this women. Bush may be the first American President to meet the the richest women in the world in this format.

So next week get ready for more noise from the looney left.

I agree with your assessment that the majority of Euros are with us.

After living over there (Greece and Italy) for a number of years, I came to the same conclusion. it is the entrenched holdovers from the left that maintain the anti US attitude but the venom is not just against the US really - it's rather anti capitalist and anti Judaeo-Christian in nature. It has a virulent anti religion strain along with a strong component of self destructive anarchistic elements.

It's a minority or Euros definitely - the rest who are for example against Iraq's liberation are just scared of the Muslims, scared of getting cut off from oil, and scared of change. They are still psychologically chained to the violence of the World wars.
