We have Bara' towards the people of Kufr and Shirk and those that defend them or support them- and that is the same whether their Kufr is out of arrogance or just because they were born into a Kaffir family.
If that person is a Kaffir, we have Bara' towards them even if they are nice to the Muslims. Of course, our manner of dealing with them depends- we would not treat the Kaffir who is open to listen and does not contribute to the war agaisnt Islam the same as we would Rumsfeld or Ashcroft for example.
