It's been clear for a while that the US has a lot more friends than enemies. Sure friendships have gone through a rough patch recently and the US has been left running an occupation that would have gone a lot better had the French or Russians been involved, and some North Americans did go out of their way to behave like boors (freedom fries/retreat monkies etc etc...) but there's still trade to be done, medicines to be invented and once-in-a-lifetime trips to Paris to be taken (until that becomes a greenie-antisocial thing to do.)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
