America and Americans already have a good image abroad and there's no need to do anything. If people outside the USA chant rude words and burn the flag, so what. It's their flag and they've had to pay for it at their own cost.
I'm a Brit and frankly don't give a fig what people think of me or my country.
Here below is the Xenophobe's Guide to the Brits - I'm sure there's one for the Americans somewhere - stick to your guns and never give up -why change a winning formula?

American Xenophobes' Guide to the British.
The following advisory for American travellers heading for Great Britain was compiled from information provided by the US State Department, the Central Intelligence Agency, the US Chamber of Commerce, the Food and Drug Administration, the Centres for Disease Control, and some very expensive spy satellites that the British don't know about. It is intended as a guide for American travellers only. No guarantee of accuracy is ensured or intended.
General overview: Great Britain is a small-sized island (in fact smaller than Oregon) located in Western Europe. Despite its vigorous denials, as well as tentative attempts to poison the rest of Europe (beware, do not eat any beef product when visiting the country, you might never return), it is effectively part of Europe - albeit geographically - and is now physically linked to the Continent (what's more, to France!!) by a 35 km tunnel. Great Britain is a very old country with many treasures, such as the Millennium Dome and the Diana Museum and the Millennium Dome. Among its contributions to Western civilisation are Mrs Thatcher, mad cow disease and beer.
Great Britain likes to think of itself as a multi-cultural nation, yet has not yet settled the many international disputes that often disrupt politics on the international scene: Northern Ireland (with Ireland), Gibraltar (with Spain), the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (Argentina), the island of Diego Garcia (Mauritius), the Rockall continental shelf (Denmark, Iceland, Ireland), and the British Antarctic Territory (Antarctica). Trips to all of these places are organised by the Southampton Tourist Board and you can board a ship twice daily, with a complementary set of body armour and Kevlar helmet. The Britons speak an ill-formed version of American English with little use of Z's, where you walk on pavements and hire cars. So, when "queuing" at McDonalds's, stay in line and point out what you want to order when you get to the front of the queue. If the shop is understaffed, be patient; this is an indication that the Parliament needed additional recruits.
Geography: The British climate is said to be temperate. In reality, more than half of the days are overcast. And in practice it rains 364 days a year. The rest of the time it snows. Natural resources include coal, petroleum, natural gas, limestone, malt and beer. Meadows and pastures occupy 48 percent of the land - this is to cater for the large number of wandering cows who were denied ownership by the farmers who were previously in charge of them.
The People: Great Britain has a population of 58 million people, the majority of whom are male, therefore addicted to public houses, beer and televisions sets. The latter mentioned majority are extremely adverse to romanticism, probably in yet another attempt to distinguish themselves from the rest of the European population. The Britons seem to spend their time queuing, and their money dying their hair blond or purchasing expensive personalised number plates for their vehicles.
They stick to the rules, any rules. For some strange reason they even seem to enjoy this, as they create new rules every time they play a game of "cricket" - a national sporting entertainment, in their own definition - with which, if subjected to sitting through a cricket match when visiting the country, you are fully entitled to, and even bound to, disagree.
The British people are in general distant, arrogant, disciplined (another example - sex is only to be practised in the missionary position) and incapable of speaking any language other than their own. "If in doubt, shout louder" seems to be the extent of polyglotism. A minority (1.9 percent) of the population is Welsh, and an even smaller minority (0.005 percent) speak Welsh. The male section of the Welsh population are easy to recognise as they often follow sheep - or any other animals - very, very closely. Other languages commonly recognised in Great Britain are: Indian, Pakistani, Cantonese, Che-Chuan and Puli-Pilu.
History: Great Britain obtained independence on 1st January 1801, and no one ever wanted them to come back - e.g. Europe, the organisers of the World Cup, the Michelin Guide of best restaurants in the world. In the latter two instances, they are still trying. Their constitution is unwritten, and is mostly based on common law and practice. In other words, they do something wrong and it then bec
