re: U.S. Expats in Europe
US expats read the same newpapers we do, look at the same TV programs we do and by very large share the European vewpoints about the matter.
American expats have a knowledge of other cultures, speak other languages, have a higher than average education and a really upset by what their president has done and the bad reputation they think they've acquire because of him. That makes them more vocal.
They don't need to be concerned by their friends in Europe who understand perfectly well there's a big difference between the US and Bush.
