Alright, I'd say a major reason for the anti-Russian sentamint is because the cold war is still going on. Now sure some will say democracy was introduced and that Russia is now a free and liberal country. But if you quickly look at the freedoms of the press, and of the political opposition you'll quickly realize the communist policies of the Soviet Union are still in position today.
Now if you want to say that the cold war is not still going on. Just a few months ago Russia sent bombers over Canadian soil, we scrambled fighters and escorted them out of our air space. However you have to wonder why Russia would send bombers into Canada under any circumstances. Then how about the missile shield the US was proposing. Russia stated that any nation that accepted the missile shield would become the tragets of nukes. Russia then mobilized hundreds of missiles and aimed them at America's European allies. Then when Obama got elected he pulled back the missile shield and Russia kept their missiles in place.
Fact is Russia is still our number one enemy. (The western worlds number one enemy). Sure terrorists have quickly become our second biggest enemy. But a couple planes flying into towers is nothing close to the threat of a nuke.
