Yes, I'd like to discuss this in detail too. For now though I'll just say that anti-British sentiment is literally one of the defining characteristics of the United States and its people. The American republic was created by and for people who rejected European monarchies and established Churches, and the British monarchy and Church in particular. The Americans saw it as their right and duty to break up the overseas empires of France, Spain, Portugal and especially England. Donald Rumsfeld's "Old Europe" versus "New Europe" comes from that tradition.
