The article considers the general public attitude in Great Britain towards the U.S. There are three main factors that have shaped the British attitude towards the U.S. First, was the growing power and dominance of the U.S. in the world. Second, was the need for Great Britain to stay close to the U.S. to maintain its international influence and third, the willingness of the U.S. to stay close to Great Britain through its multilateral policies in Europe. However, this positive attitude of Great Britain towards the U.S. has been challenged by several factors such as the U.S. shift toward unilateralism and the country's policy towards Iraq.
