Iran has replaced Iraq as the country Americans consider to be their greatest enemy, according to a Gallup Poll. Canada and Great Britain were ranked as America's best friends.
The percentage of Americans with a positive view of France and Germany has moved up sharply since 2003, the poll said, when the two allies challenged President Bush's Iraq policy.
Thirty-one percent of Americans gave the nod to Iran as the worst enemy in polling of 1,002 adults between Feb. 6-9.
This represented an increase from 14 percent last year, and appeared to reflect growing American concern over the potential for the Islamic republic to acquire nuclear weapons.
Twenty-two percent listed Iraq as the worst enemy, the same total as a year ago.

Canada is our best friend? Anyone who actually thinks that is a complete idiot. Research statements from any PM except Mulroney for dating back to 1968. Any American who believes Canada is a friend is either out of touch with current events or is a straight A student--in public school.

Those that conduct war on fathers, and destroy families.
Those that attack anything to do with God and Jesus Christ.
Those that attack our young boys.
Those that attack our military.

America is America's worst enemy. Those with sense are allowing those without sense to put the screws to everything we love and cherish.

In the end, it will (Communist) China . . . and the ACLU. I agree. Actually, the Cold War is far from over.

I think they are numerous both internal and without, I would rate the UN up there:
"That every citizen would take pride in the name of an American, and act as if he felt the importance of the character by considering that we ourselves are now a distinct Nation the dignity of which will be absorbed, if not annihilated, if we enlist ourselves (further than our obligations may require) under the banner of any other Nation whatsoever.
And moreover, that we would guard against the intrigues of any and every foreign Nation who shall endeavor to intermingle (however covertly and indirectly) in the internal concerns of our country; or who shall attempt to prescribe rules for our policy with any other power, if there be no infraction of our engagements with themselves, as one of the greatest evils that can befall us as a people; for whatever may be their professions, be assured fellow Citizens and the event will (as it always has) invariably prove, that Nations as well as individuals, act for their own benefit, and not for the benefit of others, unless both interests happen to be assimilated (and when that is the case there requires no contract to bind them together).
That all their interferences are calculated to promote the former; and in proportion as they succeed, will render us less independent.
In a word, nothing is more certain than that, if we receive favors, we must grant favors; and it is not easy to decide beforehand under such circumstances as we are, on which side the balance will ultimately terminate; but easy indeed is it to foresee that it may involve us in disputes and finally in War, to fulfill political alliances.
Whereas, if there be no engagements on our part, we shall be unembarrassed, and at liberty at all times, to act from circumstances, and the dictates of justice, sound policy, and our essential Interests."

Proof that Americans are poorly educated and informed.
Australia rates ahead of Canada as best friends, and for greatest enemy, it's American Liberals.

Is Canada really a friend? They are more like a jealous little brother IMO.
Who is America's greatest enemy, you ask? Most of the people who run it and most of the people that live in it.
