Reasonable people even wish you *gasp* well. And as for politicians... they do whatever is going to net them votes.
Edit:
Ah, forgot the rest. Most East european countries like you, because it means out of the Russian influence. Spain is like France, Portugal doesn't care, Italy same except when one of their guys dies, Norway I'd guess doesn't care given their situation, Sweden and Finland I don't know. Belgium and the Netherlands, like France, UK same. Switzerland, see Norway.
In short, you mistake a somewhat general disliking of Psdt Bush for a "wishing death on America".
