dunno, but over here, we really have no problem differentiating americans with american gouvernement and policy...

sure you'll have to take the occasional joke , or discussion about "stoopid bush"
but that counts for every expat, we make just as much fun with the germans , the french, the english, and me beeing a belgian , i get flack as well here in Holland...
i'm sure it's no different in UK , Germany ,Belgium or France...
as long as you don't start parading with the stars and stripes , dressed in desert camo, screaming on the top of your lungs that you are looking for terrorists you wanna haul off to guantanamo... you'll be just fine...
