:::::People don't hate Americans for being a mix of people but when Americans start to talk about being tough about the sources of funding for terrorists some people can't help but recall that American is one such source. Making the Real IRA an organisation that Americans can't raise money for is good start though and I look forward for this kind of things to be extended to other terrorist and extremist groups, regardly of any issues of perceived enthic bias. -- Aristotle

:::This anger is definitely misplaced unless the government do not take steps to prevent futher funding, whatever the country is. Some people also will fund an organisation not knowing what their money is funding and to a degree this kind of intial innocence is understandable. -- Aristotle

There are criticisms of Britain and there is anti-British sentiment around the globe. Consider your example of Mexico, which has never been a dominant world player like Britain has been and America is now. You have to be worth noticing to be worthy of someone disliking you. However places that Mexico has invaded or fought wars with (Do you remember the Alamo?) are prone to harbour anti-Mexican feeling. -- Aristotle

: The fact that many supposedly less-sophisticated European viewers flock to American movies and telvision further infuriates those who dislike it. The above paragraph does not reflect a neutral point of view so I've moved it over to here. - Aristotle

Anti-Great-Britainism clearly exists when you see newsgroups like uk.politics.misc where Americans choose to snipe at Brits for all kinds of reasons. -- Aristotle
