I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a country whose foreign policies don't cause trouble in at least some parts of the world. The advantage we in the UK have over the US is that our leaders are so clearly puppets of the US that the Americans get blamed for any of our perceived wrongdoings, at least by the muslim fundamentalist maniac division.

I saw a report on the BBC news site the other day where Tony Blair was referred to as "the quiet American". Quite fitting, I thought.
