What is the common view of the Japanese regarding USA?

Politically and economically, the United States is the most known and close partner of Japan, but the most Japanese think Americans are not very smart because Americans are eating BSE polluted beef everyday and never signed for the Kyoto Agreement for international CO-gas reduction policies. Also, American leaders claims for nuclear weapons in the third world countries while they have tons of such in their own land. Most Japanese think those American ideas funny and arrogant.
