or do all the countries hate us now?

While some countries disagree with America's foreign policy, it is not the same as hating you. It is a myth promoted in the rather black and white US media/government that people are incapable of having more sophisticated viewpoints.
The UK and Australia do not agree with American policy on every point - there are some common areas and some disagreements (think in terms of the UK's stance on environment in contrast to both Australia and the USA). Nonetheless, in strategic matters, they do have some common ground in terms of Middle East policy. I don't know if I see it in terms of other countries helping America, but rather as allies working together.
If you are attacked again? What sort of 'help' would you need? It's too vague a question to give a sensible answer.

Of course, Allies through thick and thin.
Australia and the US have fought beside each other in every war since WW1, so of course if one country was attacked the other would help defend.
But it would be a legal requirment anyway, with the ANZUS treaty (Aus, New Zealand, US, although NZ was kicked out of that packed in the 70's). Likewise for the UK in NATO.
Even without ANZUS and NATO obligations both Aus and the UK would help, not that America would need it, anybody dumb enough to attack America will get 100% screwed.

Britain would. He did give Bush a nice sweater at the summit meetings (or so everyone heard). Other than that I think the rest of the world is out on that one. If any country decided to help, it would take a lot of convincing. I would hope to God that the Canadian government wouldn't do something as stupid as that again.

Help you what? If it was a humanitarian crisis in America then I'm sure quite a few countries would help - it's not the fault of the American people your leader is an imbecile and his opponent was more so. If it is invading a country then I hope to God you're on your own, we don't need any more death for overactive imaginations when it comes to WMDs. Blair might - but his people would revolt and throw him out of government. He has only one finger left before he falls over the edge now, and most of the British public are now stamping on it.

Are you insane? "It exchange into purely one little terrorist team that pulled off a sucessful attack..." They attacked us in Lebanon in 1983, the attacked our embassy, they attacked the united statesCole, the bombed the international commerce midsection in 1993, the commandiered 4 planes on 9/11. I too am a liberal Democrat yet i'm no longer a whack interest. you ought to open your eyes, if somebody such as you alter into to be put in the Whitehouse we'd all finally end up ineffective. Bush HAS stored US secure and thank god whilst Bush is long previous, no be counted who replaces him, he will have created a homelend protection branch that with any luck will shop us secure for destiny years. I constantly say, i decide for to be certain the differences our party is finding for in this united states of america yet i'm smart adequate to appreciate that the Presidents FIRST precedence must be to confirm we live long adequate to be certain our desires come real.

Quit listening to the stupid TV. Britain and Australia are our allies. Australia has even less tolerance than even Britain or the US when it comes to Muslim immigrants.

I believe so after all we are allies.
Not all Aussies or British along with Canadians are as you put it anti Bush.
Just because a few people mouth off does not mean that the silent majority all think the same way.
God Bless America.

Why do you think Britain has troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, for the sunshine?
Britain is in the mess because you asked us!

They might today, but I'm sure that GWB will figure out a way to alienate them, too, by the end of the week.
Matter of fact, by the time that moron's through, it would not suprise me in the slightest to see Canadian warplanes attacking us.
