	I'd guess it depends on what kind of American ;-). These days the
powers on high keep implying that they will assassinate American
citizens if they're deemed terrorists or terrorist recruiters. These
Americans just happen to have names like Ahmed, which I suspect will
make the shooting easier.

	Besides, if you want to get soldiers to shoot Americans, just don't let
them know they're Americans. I don't think it was ever a "strong"
protection.
