Now would you rather have us hating them? We tend to be little more objective about our relationships with other countries. We are not subservient to any country like Pakistan was to America in all previous decades and inching towards the same with regard to China. Anyways, look Japan got nuked by America but would you consider Japan to be a friend of America or not? Is Japan a developed country? There's another country that entire foreign policy is based on hating India. Look where its got them.
Of course, not. Hate is not a good factor on the path of civilization. But, you do not need to admire Britain. It is a little bit creepy.
